Combing is a technique that has been used in the preparation of textiles for centuries. Essentially, combing is a process that helps to smooth and prepare fibres for use in spinning. Combing also helps to separate short fibres from longer ones, which also helps to make the process of spinning much easier.
BT cotton is geneticly modified to contain a natural toxin created by a bacteria whos initials are BT. the bacteria as well as its toxin have long been used in organic farming as it is only activated in a highly basic (as in not acidic) envirument which is rather rare in nature execpt for the digestive system of several butterflies one of which is a major pest in cotton crops (i think its called pink worm something but its been a while). anyway the use of such plants mean many chemical treatments will be made redundunt which is good for the consumer as well as the envirument and the farmer. it has also been proven that although there is the ability to develop resistence to the toxin (in the lab) the living cost of of this resistence prevents its build up in nature. that along with the law that stats one has to grow at least 20% of the area with non BT plants aliminates the risk of its efectivness being damaged over time as happens to so many pesticides
Jump down, turn around, pick a bail of cotton. Jump down, turn around, pick a bail a day. Oh lordy, pick a bail of coton. Oh lordy, pick a bail a day. Me and my wife, we pick a bail of cotton. Me and my wife, we pick a bail a day.

Cotton has been 'used' as long as cotton has grown upon the Earth.
The Egyptians have been making cotton thread and weaving for thousands of years and it is considered the finest cotton cloth in the world. It would be plausible to assume that the ancient Egyptians discovered cotton fibres and the ability to spin it into a fine twine and increase its strength and durability. Weaving cotton created fine fabrics for clothing that the Egyptians also probably discovered.
Eli Whitney invented it in 1793 im not sure where yet im looking too (: hope this helps a lil bye
A can of "Scotchgaurd" by "Scotch" brand, should do the trick. On construction sites we would run them through a vat of melted wax, but it gets very messy and difficult to handle. This technique is reserved for the ropes we use to pull big cables {1"+ in dia each a bundles of 4-5 cables} through conduits that usually are full of water. This keeps the water sateration from weighing down the rope adding additional drag/resistance to the cable pull. Scotchgaurd is used to weather treat fabric and probably can be found in that department {fabric}. Good Luck.
a primary source is like who was there to witness what ever you did so for the cotton gin they askin who saw Eli Whitney invent the cotton gin im only n the 7th grade to im smart i pay attention n class
Cotton wool is called that because it is as soft as a tuft of loose wool before it is made into yarn.
