Cotton lint is the fibre derived from seed cotton after the seed cotton has been ginned. Seed cotton is the ball of the cotton plant as picked from the field.
In the manufacturing of a cotton shirt, the primary inputs include raw cotton fibers, dyes, thread, and labor. The main processes involve spinning the cotton fibers into yarn, weaving or knitting the yarn into fabric, dyeing and finishing the fabric, cutting it into shirt patterns, and finally sewing the pieces together. The outputs are the finished cotton shirts, as well as any waste materials produced during the manufacturing process. Additionally, there may be by-products such as cotton lint and scraps that can be recycled or repurposed.
Cotton comes from the cotton plant. The seeds of the cotton plant are contained in a capsule called a boll, each seed surrounded by fibres of two types. These fibres are are removed by a process called ginning. At the first ginning the longer fibres, called staples, are removed and these are twisted together to form yarn for making thread and weaving into high quality textiles. At the second ginning the shorter fibres, called linters, are removed, and these are woven into lower quality textiles including the Lint. The commercial species of cotton plant are G. hirsutum (90% of world production)
obviously from the south where there were cotton plantations..
Well, if you're asking this from your Social Studies weekly (Week 21) The answer is Cotton gin, you can find this answer in the article titled "Unintended Effects."
Clothes that are made from cotton are: some pj's, some tracksuits, polo-shirts and shirts. Other products that are made from cotton are: Table runners, bedding and cotton wool.
A bale of lint cotton typically weighs around 500 pounds.
Cotton lint from the bush is nearly all cellulose.
A lint free cloth is a cloth that does give off residue or fluff when it is being used. Common types of lint free cloths include cotton tee shirts and cotton diapers.
It was very difficult to separate the seeds from the lint. Lint is a fibrous coat of thick hairs covering the seeds of the cotton plant
The process of separating cotton seed from the lint is called ginning. This is typically done using a cotton gin, a machine that efficiently removes the seeds from the cotton fibers, allowing the lint to be processed for textile production. Ginning is a crucial step in the cotton production process, ensuring that the fibers are clean and ready for spinning into thread or yarn.
The differences are in the fabrication of the raw cotton lint into absorbent cotton for swabs and spun cotton that is woven into fabric for clothing.

Cotton is a little more soft but they are pretty much the same thing. They are both used for clothing.
if you dont have cotton balls to remove nail polish dryer lint workks too ;]]

brushed cotton is cotton fabric that is brushed to remove all excess lint and fibers from the fabric, leaving an ultra soft, smooth finish.
