Cotton Characteristics...
By Tempe Cropper Cotton is a very high absorbent fibre. If in water it can hold up to 27 times its weight. Also when in water cotton becomes stronger. Because of this people usually make bandages and other medical supplies out of cotton. Also because cotton is very absorbent it is easy to dye. Another reason it is easy to dye is because it is white in colour. Cotton is a non-allergenic fibre so people with allergies do not have to worry. Cotton is a very soft fabric so it is also usually worn for underwear and other clothes close to the skin. When you are wearing cotton, because of its special unique fibre it breathes easily. This is another reason why cotton is better to wear than other fibres that are artificial because cotton is able to provide ventilation. Cotton is also very good to wear because it is easily machine washable. Here are some reasons why towels should be made out of cotton: Firstly towels are usually close to the skin so it is better if they are soft and also because towels are close to the skin it is good for them to be cotton because cotton is non- allergenic. Some more reasons why sheets should be made out of cotton: Sheets should be made out of cotton because they should be able to have people breath through them. Also cotton is machine washable. Reasons why t-shirts should be made out of cotton: Firstly cotton is absorbent so if you spill a drink on it can absorb it. Secondly cotton is easy to care for which is useful for a t-shirt because people wear them all the time. Here are some reasons why jeans should be made out of cotton: Firstly jeans are usually died and cotton is easy to dye. The second reason why jeans should be made out of cotton is because in water it can hold 27 times its weight so since jeans are heavy, if you fall in the water your jeans (if they are made out of cotton) will not bring you down to the bottom but will instead have less weight on you because it is made out of cotton! |
