Understanding the Cotton Production Process

Our cotton leaves the United States and goes  around the world to Colombia, Indonesia and Bangladesh. Where it goes from plant to fabric with barely a human being involved. Just lots and lots cool machines. Which we set to music. Our cotton first went to spinning factories like this one. Raw cotton sucked up laid down in big sheets, straightened, pulled into long feathery ropes, like an infinite ponytail. Stretched. Twisted. And with a final twist, it becomes yarn. It's then sent on big spools to the next step. The circular knitting machine, where our yarn is turned into fabric. It's washed. Dyed. And voila! Fabric for our shirts. Soft, comfy and a high-tech engineering marvel.
