What are the steps involved in cotton making processing?

You don't exactly "make" cotton, because it's a natural fiber. With that, here's how to make cotton cloth: First, plant the cotton and raise it to maturity. When the cotton is ripe, pick the cotton. The days of hand-picked cotton in the United States have been gone for centuries. Cotton is mechanically harvested. Once the cotton is picked, it is then compressed into a huge bale called a Cotton Module with a machine called a module builder. (Given that, there are new cotton picking systems that have onboard module builders.) The cotton is then run through a cotton gin, a machine that removes the seeds and bales the cotton lint. The cotton gin made industrial cotton production possible because cotton is, by weight, mostly seed. If you produce 100 kilograms of cotton lint on a gin, you will have also produced 160 kilograms of cottonseed. Now they have to decide what the lint is going to be used for. Cotton can be used in two ways: as cotton cloth and as cotton wool. (Cotton balls are cotton wool.) The cotton that is destined to be cotton wool is shipped to companies that make those products. Cotton that is to become cloth is first spun into yarns of various diameters and softnesses. If it's going to be made into single-color cloth they oftentimes dye the yarn before weaving the cloth. Printed cloth is made from white yarn. Then they weave it, put it on bolts and ship it.
