Cotton, The Fabric of Our Lives
Cotton is a natural fiber that comes from the cotton plant which, incidentally caused the American Civil War. It is soft and fluffy, but strong, creating a tough wear-and-tear resistant fabric. It is also absorbent, breathable, holds dye well and has no static cling. Having hypoallergenic and excellent wicking properties make it a staple in the clothing industry.
Egyptian Cotton is the established "Best" Cotton in the world. The cotton grown in Egypt is the longest fiber, so it is softer and stronger and undisputed finest. It is use in luxury bedding. When you sleep on Egyptian Cotton sheets, you know why.
Cotton finds itself at home in light, airy drapery.
