What exactly is cotton?

Cotton is a plant that grows easily in all tropical and subtropical regions. The plant produces a soft and plush white fiber which develops like a capsule which serves as a protective case around the seeds of the plant. In nature, fiber actually helps the plant to reproduce by facilitating the dispersion of seeds.

The fiber capsule is what is used as a raw material and is made up almost entirely of cellulose - a molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Small amounts of wax, pectin, fat and water also constitute fiber.

The use of cotton from the Neolithic to the present day

The first use of cotton dates back to the Neolithic. In reality, cotton capsules have been discovered in a cave in Mexico and go back to around 5,500 before JC - the same age as the capsules discovered in Pakistan. The ancient civilizations of Central America spun, stun and dyed cotton, and all that was not used was sent to their former leaders in tribute.

The first domestication of cotton took place around 3400-2300 BC and the rest belongs to history. Cotton has spread in the ancient world to Greece, Arabia, Iran and China during the wars of Alexander the Great. The use of cotton has increased in the Middle Ages, its popularity was maintained for generations, but the industrial revolution saw cotton production reaching summits never seen before.

Shipped through the seas from India, where it was cultivated en masse, cotton was strongly transformed into fabric in the steam factories of the industrial centers of the United Kingdom. Manchester, Midlands and Lancashire have all seen a cotton spinning boom while the production of cotton became the British industrial prestige machine room.

In the 19th century, cotton was transformed into:

• Clothes
• Covers
• Short
• Carpet
• Tapestry
• Hangings

Today, little has changed. After all, there is a reason why cotton has been used for our advantage for thousands of years and why we use it as a fabric for cushion covers.
