What is the step by step process of obtaining cotton and jute fibres?
Cotton is obtained by the following steps:
The cotton is handpicked from the plant Gossipyium plant in the form of cotton balls.
By the process of Ginning, the seeds and cotton fibres are separated from Cotton balls.
These cotton balls are then made into threads and converted into yarn by the process of Spinning.
from these yarns, the cotton fabric is made.
Jute is obtained from the following steps:
The jute fibre comes from the stem and ribbon (outer skin) of the jute plant.
The fibres are first extracted by retting. The retting process consists of bundling jute stems together and immersing them in slow running water.
There are two types of retting: stem and ribbon.
After the retting process, stripping begins; women and children usually do this job. In the stripping process, non-fibrous matter is scraped off, then the workers dig in and grab the fibres from within the jute stem. These fibres are used to make further products.
