How is a cotton plant turned into fabric?

Cotton plants bloom when they mature, just as other plants and flowers do, usually in early fall. The bloom on the cotton plant looks pretty much like the cotton balls you buy for applying cosmetics, antiseptics, etc. But at the time the cotton is harvested, the cotton has seeds in it, which have to be removed. This is done at a cotton gin, a process commonly known as "cotton ginning". The cotton is then spun into a fine thread, then woven into fabric, much like other types of fabrics (silk, wool, etc.). The cotton seeds that are removed from the cotton blooms are also used. They are processed into oil, which has a number of uses.


What does the cotton look like?

it is a white fluffy ball. You can find it in most medicine bottles. Cotton is soft fiber material. The plant has broad leaves with about 5 points. The plant has one main stalk with branches off of it. The plant requires a long time, about 5 monts, for it to mature and produce cotton. The plant is only ONE of two plants in the world that has a flower that changes color from pink to white. The height of the plant can vary from 2 feet to 6 feet depending on the variety. (Plants were developed to grow tall but then they realized that a shorter plant would produce cotton quicker.) The fruit of the plant is a bowl which begins to develope the cotton inside it. At the first frost (or when defloiate is applied), the plant dies and the bowl begins to dry up. This causes it to split open in 5 segments (like segments of an orange) and exposes the cotton for pickers to harvest. Inside the fluffy cotton are seeds that are used to grow the next crop.


Why does a white cotton t shirt lose it's shape faster than black t shirt?

NO!!, a white t-shirt looks like it has because its white and isn't flattering, the reason it looks like black t-shirts always stay in shape is because black always makes u look skinnier so, that makes it look like it fits u perfectly!!
