Puuvillalõngad

Puuvillalõngad, often referred to as cotton yarn, are threads made from the natural fibers of the cotton plant. These fibers are spun together to create a continuous strand of yarn suitable for various textile applications. Cotton is a soft, breathable, and absorbent material, making cotton yarns highly versatile. They are widely used in knitting, crocheting, weaving, and embroidery. The production of puuvillalõngad involves several steps, starting with harvesting the cotton bolls, followed by cleaning and carding to align the fibers. The aligned fibers are then spun into yarn, with the thickness and twist determining the yarn's final characteristics.

Puuvillalõngad come in a wide range of weights, from fine lace weights to bulky yarns, and in countless colors due to the ease with which cotton takes dye. This variety allows for a broad spectrum of creative possibilities in textile crafts. Cotton yarns are known for their durability and strength, though they can be prone to shrinking if not pre-shrunk or cared for properly. They are also hypoallergenic, making them a good choice for clothing and items that come into contact with sensitive skin, such as baby clothes and bedding. The natural luster and feel of cotton yarn contribute to its enduring popularity in the textile industry and among crafters worldwide.
