Cotton

Only seems reasonable to start at the beginning. The cotton fabric is considered the oldest known and used for the first time to make the material. During the 1000s in recent years cotton has been the staple of all tissues. Today, still produced and used basically as it was in the beginning.

History:

The exact date of the beginning of cotton is unknown, however pieces of cotton fabric found in caves in Mexico dates back at least 7,000 years old. Cotton was found to be very similar to cotton grown today. The cotton was grown and turned into the tissue in Pakistan dating back to 3,000 BC. It is known that while cotton fabric was being used by the Egyptians in the Nile Valley By 800 AD cotton had spread throughout Europe by Arab traders. Christopher Columbus found cotton growing in the Bahamas when he discovered America in 1492. By the early 1500s, cotton is used worldwide for making fabric. In the United States the first cotton seed were believed to be planted in Florida in 1556. Shortly thereafter in 1607 the farms in Virginia along the James River were producing cotton.

Spun cotton fibers for the first time tissue through machines in 1730 in England at the beginning of their industrial revolution. However, a new machine invented by Eli Whitney revolutionized mass production cotton for use in the textile industry. In 1793 he patented the cotton gin. This new invention could harvest the cotton 10 times faster than hand. The cotton gin made possible the necessary supply of cotton and the value of the cotton crop in the U.S. increased from $ 150,000 to more than 8 million dollars.

Manufacturing process:

The cotton is still harvested by a modern version of the cotton gin, where the seeds of cotton are removed and the cotton fibers, called lint, are rescued and sent to factories. In the textile mill machines open the bail and clean and mix cotton fiber. This is accomplished by blowing and beating the lint. The cotton fibers are separated in the long and short fibers. Short fibers, usually shorted of an inch, are sent for use in other industries. The long fibers, measuring 1 "to 1 ¾" long bristled and deposited into the carding machine. The carding machine further cleans the cotton fibers and lines them up side by side in the same direction. For cleaning the hair and fibers, makes the carding machine fibers into a soft untwisted rope called a sliver.

The cotton tape is then fed to the machine where it is spinning cotton yarn. Modern day devices can rotate spinning at 2,500 revolutions per second. The process of the chip spinning cotton thread that is woven or knitted fabric.
