Product Description
Cotton yarn is a twisted continuous strand of fibers derived from the seed hair of the Gossypium plant, predominantly Gossypium hirsutum (upland cotton) and Gossypium barbadense (extra-long staple cotton). Classified as a natural cellulosic textile fiber, it is commercially produced in carded and combed grades, with ring-spun, open-end, and air-jet spun variants differing in tensile strength and surface texture. At ambient conditions, cotton yarn is a soft, off-white flexible strand exhibiting moderate moisture absorption, high breathability, and excellent dyeability. It is non-thermoplastic and combustible. Principal industrial users span apparel manufacturing, home textiles, technical textiles, knitting mills, and weaving operations. The standard manufacturing route involves ginning to separate lint from seed, followed by opening, cleaning, carding or combing, drawing, roving, and ring or open-end spinning to produce the final yarn.
