After the T-shirt Yarn is harvested, it is cleaned. Previously, it was done by hand, but now in special factories. In the 19th century, the machine was invented that separated seeds from fibers and was many times greater than the amount of material being processed. This was truly a revolution in cotton production. The fibers are bunched and pressed, and the seeds are not thrown away, but left for later use. Some of them are planted again, and cottonseed oil is squeezed out of the rest for cooking. The cake, obtained during processing and rich in proteins, is sent to livestock feeding. Cotton fibers are specially classified. There are certain standards by which the quality and condition of cotton are assessed: the color and length of the fibers. The length of the fibers is measured using a special device similar to a ruler. Fiber colors are white, cream and yellow. Transparency and the degree of soiling are also some of the criteria for the quality of cotton.

 

Previously, T-shirt Yarn was carefully combed by hand with special combing brushes. In Britain, it was all done at home by women and children. And then they spun the thread using a spindle. The process was very long and monotonous. The spinning wheel was invented back in the 10th century, but when the amount of fine cotton fabric supplied from India to Europe flooded the market, home hand spinning wheels could no longer cope with such a flow. Despite the large selection of Indian cotton, British producers wanted to take the market back into their own hands. In 1760, the Jenny spinning machine was invented by James Hargreaves, which also did not cope with the volume of production. And whoever could invent a more efficient machine could get rich.
