Cotton does not require presentation. With the production of
millions of tons i n the world it is one of the most popular clothing fabrics in
the world. technologyify
The man has been making canvas with cotton fibers for a long
time. I remember reading that since prehistoric times man used clothing made of
cotton fibers. People in the Indus Valley civilization wore cotton clothing and
that was in 3,300 BC. India is currently the largest cotton producer, followed
by China. worldbeautytips
Cotton is always and always popular as the best (controversial,
not surprisingly) canvas for clothing. Millions choose it out of necessity (for
the fact that it is affordable), many choose it out of preference (like a tarp
for summer), many choose it for its beauty (think crepe, damask), many for its
comfort ( its comfy terry towels and sheets), many choose it as an eco-friendly
choice (due to the fact that it is made from a plant) and as a trend statement
(their denim jeans). Whatever your apology, you come across cotton very
frequently in your daily life. technologyford
