Cotton comes from a plant, the Gossypium, or cotton plant, which grows in the hot regions of the world.

It’s mainly produced in India, the US, and China… and has been used to make clothes for thousands of years.

Cotton fabrics are soft, insulating and absorbent, but they can shrink or go moldy.

How is cotton produced?

Plants are grown for several months until the flowers are covered with a boll.

Each boll contains about thirty seeds surrounded by an abundant down, the cotton.
