Where does cotton wool come from?
Cotton wool comes from cotton bolls. The cotton bolls are the fruit of cotton plant.
Upon maturation of the fruit, the bolls burst open and the seeds covered with cotton fibres can be seen. From these bolls, cotton is usually picked by hand (manually). Fibres are then separated from the seeds by the process of ginning. These fibres are then made into yarn by the process of spinning, which is then converted into fabric.
[Extra information: Cotton fibre is obtained from the fruit of a cotton plant known as cotton bolls. Cotton plants are usually grown in places having a warm climate. Black soil is used to grow cotton because black soil is clayey in nature. Hence, they are also known as black cotton soil. They retain moisture in high content and are fine-grained dark colour soil. They contain high levels of Calcium, Magnesium, and Carbonate. All these are required by the cotton plant for its growth.]
