The journey of a cotton shirt starting from cotton bolls is as follows:

  • Picking: The seeds covered with cotton fibres are handpicked from the cotton bolls from the fields. 
  • Ginning: It is the process in which seeds are separated from fibres by combing. 
  • Spinning: fibres are drawn out from cotton wool and twisted. This brings the fibres together to make a strong yarn.
  • Weaving and knitting: There are two methods of converting cotton yarn into the cotton fabric i.e by weaving and knitting. A cotton shirt is usually made by weaving so in weaving, two sets of yarns are arranged together to make a fabric.
  • Stitching: The cotton fabric is then stitched into the cotton shirt.
