Cotton

Building a tent, using for warmth (like a blanket), using as a piece of art work, use as a canvas and paint on, use for hair ties.

Cotton is natural from the cotton plant

It was easy to produce cotton with the cotton gin and the South was the perfect place to produce cotton

Although cotton wool is found in first aid kits please do not use it on open wounds because cotton fibres could adhere to the injury and if in surgery they are not removed they will cause septicemia. Cotton wool may be used for splint padding and for eye makeup removal only!

Yes it is, as I tested this by using cotton to insulate drink cans which had boiling water in them. I recorded the temperatures every 2 minutes (I also tested denim and polyster. I used an uninsulated can as a control) I graphed the results on a graph and found it was a good insulator when it was both wet and dry. I tested it with denim and paper towels and cottonballs were the better insulator.

They can be made into strong sturdy clothing. Other items are strong as they are made from cotton.

Cotton is a natural fiber, which means it is easier on the environment, and interacts better with people. It is also a renewable resource.

im not really sure, but if u look on another website it might tell you! :)

More slaves were needed to PICK the cotton in the fields because the cotton gin more quickly took the seeds out of the cotton. The planters (plantation owners who owned more than 20 slaves) wanted more profit, so they wanted to constantly have the cotton gin working. To have this happen, there would need to be A LOT more cotton.

By using numerous blades which look like thin circular saw blades. The blades grab some cotton fibers and pull them through thin slots which are too thin to allow the seeds to pass through. The cleaned cotton is then rubbed off the blades on the other side of the slots.

The cotton gin removed seeds from the cotton.

The invention of the cotton gin caused massive growth of the production of cotton in the United States, concentrated mostly in the South. Cotton production expanded from 750,000 bales in 1830 to 2.85 million bales in 1850. As a result, the South became even more dependent on plantations and slavery, making plantation agriculture the largest sector of the Southern economy. In addition to the increase in cotton production, the number of slaves rose as well, from around 700,000, before Eli Whitney's patent, to around 3.2 million in 185. By 1860 the United States' South was providing eighty percent of Great Britain's cotton and also providing two-thirds of the world's supply of cotton.

Cotton had formerly required considerable labor to clean and separate the fibers from the seeds; the cotton gin revolutionized the process. With Eli Whitney's introduction of "teeth" in his cotton gin to comb out the cotton and separate the seeds, cotton became a tremendously profitable business, creating many fortunes in the Antebellum South. New Orleans and Galveston were shipping points that derived substantial economic benefit from cotton raised throughout the South.

Being a natural fiber instead of a synthetic one, such as polyester, cotton dyes very well. Just follow the directions on the dye package, and you should have good results.

But if you are dyeing to a very dark color, you may need to use extra dye, or you can add a bit of black dye to the color you have, which will give you a bit darker shade. Just don't add too much of the black, just a little will do.

Egyptian cotton is grown in soil along the banks of the Nile river. Because it has unusually long fibers, it can be spun into finer threads.

Similar long-staple cotton originally grown on the Pima Indian Reservation in Arizona is known as Pima cotton. It is also very good quality.

Jacquard is a certain type of weave producing quite intricate patterns. The patterns are achieved on a special type of loom that was invented in the late 18th Century by Joseph Marie Jacquard of France. It used punch cards to create the patterns and was thus an early precursor of the computer.

Cotton does wear out after prolonged use. After wearing cotton clothing for a decent amount of time, the cotton begins to wear out. This may lead to wholes or fraying.

No, but some cottons are treated to be less prone to wrinkles.

Cotton wool -- a rather UK-centric term -- is raw cotton with major impurities removed, usually used for surgical dressings, tampons and so forth -- highly absorbent cotton.

Its density probably depends on its intended use.

The cotton gin helped improve the cotton industry.

The "cotton industry" is the general term for the combined efforts of every company that grows cotton, that buys and sells cotton, that manufactures and markets cotton products. (i.e. clothing and Q-tips).

As the name suggests, cotton balls are made from cotton-producing plants.

Of course people still grow cotton, but in the years leading up to the Civil War cotton was grown in the South. It was a difficult crop to grow, and was actually on the decline until Eli Whitney's cotton gin was introduced. This simple machine pulled the cotton away from the seeds. Combine this with free slave labor, and cotton became much more profitable. However, as the soil exhausted, the crop moved further west. It did particularly well in an area called the Black Belt, named so because the soil was so dark and rich. Soon, all the South proclaimed, "Cotton is King!"

poly cotton is a fabric you can use for making bed sheets and clothes.It is made of 51% cotton and 49% polyester and that's were the name comes from.

Cotton comes from plants and is formed into balls after processing. The cotton boll that contains the cotton lint also contains seeds, which are removed as part of the processing steps.

It made a few rich, enhanced the southern economy and kept slavery alive.

The symbol for cotton is lines with a cloudy blob on the front. The lines represent the plowed fields that the cotton grows in. The cloudy blob represents cotton itself.
