I also grow my own cotton to spin but I spin it off of the seed. Just use a small dog brush to comb it out some and spin away. It pulls away from the seed very easily.

While that was smart. It would have been better to show her how her dress was really made. This video is great if made by had but as you can see the fabric is nowhere near the same. I believe how it's made shows how fabrics for clothes are really made from cotton.

@@jessicapearson9479 This is a way clothes can be "really made." Of course, this was a looser weave, which was a choice by the weaver, but they don't have to be woven loosely. This was the way clothing was made for centuries, and some people still do it now. It definitely could help a child learn how the basic process works, and then you can follow up with educating about factories, or even sweat shops, etc. if you want to modernize it, but this video shows the steps of how a regular person can do it.

This is so cool! Worth mentioning that growing cotton in some US states is illegal because of pests that could infect commercial crops. Not saying the police will raid any gardens, but to those watching, check to see if it's legal to grow where you are! I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to grow marijuana but not cotton 😂

Wool was easier to process in preindustrial times because of the obvious difficulty of the cotton seeds buried in the product. Once the cotton gin (seed remover) was invented the process took off and made cotton milling profitable. It made both the American South and the English Millers enormously rich at the same time creating a wide spread abuse of slaves and factory workers. Machines have advanced to the point of eliminating most human labor from the process and greatly increasing production. The same is true of wool but it’s still more expensive because shearing wool cannot be done by strictly machinery, although electric shears sped it up.

incredible process
