In order to grow the cotton plant needs a warm climate characterized by periods of high humidity to other very dry, necessary for the ripening phase. The fiber, used for textile production, is very long, soft, extremely shiny.

Cotton is 95% cellulose and is a lightweight, soft material with high absorption properties.
