It is natural and comes from a plant, that after planting in the ground,it first becomes a flower then it turns into a soft boll which is soft and fluffy on the inside.

After it is full grown , it is picked , it is then spun into a wonderful

soft, breathable material. This material feels cool on your skin, especially in hot weather.

If it  carries  a label that says it is 60% cotton it is called cotton rich.

Cotton clothes last longer and keep their shape better than polyester. And cotton does not keep odors in its fabric like polyester does.

If you have washed nylon and polyester together, the fabrics rub together and produces these little tiny balls. This is called pilling.

Cotton sheds these pillings and come out smooth.

Sheets and towels are wonderful when made with 100% cotton.

The sheets are nice and cool and as soft as a cloud.

The towels are absorbent and are soft on your skin.

From the sixties when the girls wore those mod mini dresses to the seventies sport sets and then the eighties everyone’s favorite track suits. All the way through to the years we are now enjoying those low rise jeans. The United States cotton is by far our best premiere fabrics in the world. From our

USDA classing system to the practices on the farm they are looking at every small spot in the fields to make sure the cotton is safe. The aim is to address the environmental impacts of sustainable cotton.

Water quality is protected by preventing erosion and compaction and encreasing soil breath. Resources provide data  on cottons environmental impact over its life cycle as well as its multiple end of life uses and biodegradability

The fiber in cotton is naturally circular because it is grown in the ground and it can be used over again where facilities exist, recycling into new clothing and home goods. By recycling and

Employing a second hand life cycle for fabrics , it has the potential to reduce fabric waste to 5%.
