Growing, Spinning and Weaving Cotton
Рет қаралды 176,612
3 жыл бұрынGuys, I made fabric from dirt! This video documents my process from start to finish growing, harvesting, processing and weaving cotton. The variety of cotton I started with was a long-staple white cotton which I started indoors to avoid our shorter growing season. I was really proud of this process!

I also grow my own cotton to spin but I spin it off of the seed. Just use a small dog brush to comb it out some and spin away. It pulls away from the seed very easily.

Thank you for making this! I'm a homeschool mama, teaching my kiddos about the Civil War and the cotton industry and the Lowell Mills and factories, and was searching for a video that would at least come close to showing how cotton became thread way back then. My 13yo was especially impressed and now wants to learn how to weave like this.

While that was smart. It would have been better to show her how her dress was really made. This video is great if made by had but as you can see the fabric is nowhere near the same. I believe how it's made shows how fabrics for clothes are really made from cotton.
@kellyriddell5014 Жыл бұрын
@@jessicapearson9479 This is a way clothes can be "really made." Of course, this was a looser weave, which was a choice by the weaver, but they don't have to be woven loosely. This was the way clothing was made for centuries, and some people still do it now. It definitely could help a child learn how the basic process works, and then you can follow up with educating about factories, or even sweat shops, etc. if you want to modernize it, but this video shows the steps of how a regular person can do it.

This is so cool! Worth mentioning that growing cotton in some US states is illegal because of pests that could infect commercial crops. Not saying the police will raid any gardens, but to those watching, check to see if it's legal to grow where you are! I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to grow marijuana but not cotton 😂
