cotton spinning

cotton spinning

Creating thread or fine yarn from the cotton plant by spinning the raw fibre contained within the seed-pods. The fibre is separated from the pods by a machine called a cotton gin. It is then cleaned and the fibres are separated out (carding). Finally the fibres are drawn out to the desired length and twisted together to form strong thread.
