There are three different types of fiber for cotton. Long-staple fibers are used to make high-quality, top-of-the-range products. Medium-staple fibers are found in mid-quality items and casual everyday clothing. Short-staple fibers are the ones found in carpets. These are lower quality fibers than the other two options.
Cotton has been the go-to fabric for clothing for generations. Popular in all parts of the globe in several different weights and weaves, cotton has an enduring reputation for being soft, comfortable, and cozy next to the skin.
It’s also a durable fabric. The heavier-weight cotton, like denim, are known for their resilience. They make excellent working clothes. Lighter-weight fabrics such as gingham are the perfect choice for summer dresses.
Natural, hypoallergenic and incredibly breathable, 100% cotton fabrics are still the top choices for versatile and comfortable clothing to suit any occasion.

Types of Cotton

Medium-staple fibers are found in mid-quality items and casual everyday clothing. Short-staple fibers are the ones found in carpets. These are lower quality fibers than the other two options.
Cotton can also be blended with other fabrics. The most popular blend is polyester creating a polycotton. This mix is great in utility clothing, such as scrubs, due to being easy to care for and ready to wear straight from the dryer.
Spandex or lycra can also be added to cotton to give a comfortable, slightly stretchy fit to clothing. Cotton can be quite a rigid fabric; the extra give provided by a little bit of lycra can help create looser, more comfortable garments.
