Chances are that the first fabric to touch your skin was cotton. It is by far the most common and versatile fabric known to man. Baby diapers used to be almost exclusively cotton and are still popular among many families.

The earliest use of cotton has been estimated to have occurred between 3000 to 5000 BC. and was worn by the Egyptians as far back as 2500 BC. It has been a major factor in the world economy and continues to be the leading commercial fiber in the United States since around 1800. Cotton is grown in semi-arid regions of the southern United States and at one time was called King Cotton as it was the primary commercial concern of the south. Cotton is still a major American export and it even has its own museum in South Carolina.

One of the most amazing properties of cotton as a fabric is its ability to breathe. Cotton can retain nearly 30 times its weight in water. Thus it quickly absorbs perspiration from the wearer and releases it to the air through evaporation. Other remarkable properties include the propensity to stand up to high temperatures for sterilizing and ironing without disintegrating. It whitens well with chlorine bleach and absorbs dyes easily. It wears well and stands up to friction. It is often blended with polyester, wool, or other fibers.

Cotton fiber is gathered from the seed pod of the cotton plant and ginned. A gin is a machine that separates the seeds from the cotton fiber. It was invented by Eli Whitney in 1793 and is one of the revolutionary events in cotton processing. The fiber is then spun into thread and woven into fabric. The commercial process is actually far more complicated and complex but those are the general steps.

Cotton fabrics include muslin, flannel, gingham, seersucker, terry cloth, gauze, drill, swiss, duck, sateen, poplin, organdy, lawn, flannelette, percale, velveteen, outing flannel, whipcord, sailcloth, polished cotton, and others.

Top Quality Personal Care Products

I'd be willing to go that when you go shopping, you assume most if not all the products you're shopping for, are safe. You presumably believe that anything that's unsafe could not make it past Federal examinations and wouldn't be allowed to be placed on the shelves for trade.     I mean, let's face it, given the size of the government these days; with all the different departments regulating this and that, it's egregious they check products before they are allowed to be vented.  Well, not so important.   When it comes to ornamental products you're enough much on your own. The primary authority for these products, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has no" authority" to accreditation that companies test their products for safety before unleashing them on consumers. The only effects the FDA does prior to request release is to check for certain color complements, and to check active constituents in any ornamental product classified as an untoward
