Cotton
The cotton is a naturally grown cellulose fiber. The processed fabric is very absorbent, skin-friendly and has a low allergy potential. In addition, the fibers are heat resistant, durable, easy to clean and yet durable. The quality of the fiber is decided by the long staple, the use of chemicals during cultivation and the type of selection during harvesting. The finest quality is found in Egyptian Giza (Mako) cotton, Peruvian Pima cotton and Sea Island cotton. They are characterized by a particularly high long staple, hand selection and high strength of the yarn. The majority of cotton is planted and harvested in China, USA and India. The high quality cottons (Giza, Pima and Sea Island cotton) account for only 8% of world production.
