A handful of cotton is called a "wad".
The mixture of terylene and cotton is typically referred to as a "poly-cotton blend." This blend combines the strength and durability of terylene with the softness and breathability of cotton, resulting in a fabric that is both practical and comfortable to wear.
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.
Cotton can help purify water through a process called biosorption, where contaminants are trapped or absorbed by the cotton fibers. The large surface area and porous structure of cotton make it effective at removing pollutants like heavy metals or dyes from water. By binding these impurities to its surface, cotton can help to clean and filter water for various applications.
During times of slavery in the United States, plantation owners grew cotton, because it was cheap to grow and sold for a great profit, considering that they did not have to pay for labor because they had slaves.
Cotton is typically the substance processed in a ginnery. The ginnery removes seeds from cotton fibers, preparing it for further processing into textiles.
The seed of cotton is called 'cotton seed'.The pod that contains the cotton seed and the cotton fiber is called a 'boll'.
