Cotton fibers form inside the seed pod of the cotton plant ( a shrub of the mallow family) as the pod ripens. The fibers average about 1.5" long and are attached to the seeds.
To make these fibers into thread, they are removed from the seeds, cleaned of debris, and then spun in a process that litterally twists the fibers around each other in a continuous fashion to form a thread. In the old days, this process was done with a spinning wheel.
The thread can then be woven in a loom to form bolts of fabric to be used to make all kinds of things.
There are other steps usually involved such as bleaching, dying, combing and so on, but the above describes the basic process.
