puuvillalõngu

Puuvillalõngu is the Estonian word for cotton yarn. Cotton yarn is a versatile and widely used textile material derived from the natural fibers of the cotton plant. The process of creating cotton yarn involves several steps, beginning with the harvesting of cotton bolls, followed by ginning to separate the seeds from the fibers. These fibers are then carded and combed to align them, making them suitable for spinning. Spinning is the process of twisting the fibers together to form a continuous thread, which is then wound onto spools or cones.

Cotton yarn is known for its softness, absorbency, and breathability, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in the production of clothing, including t-shirts, jeans, and undergarments. Due to its absorbent properties, cotton yarn is also extensively used for towels, bed linens, and other household textiles. In crafting, puuvillalõngu is favored for knitting, crocheting, and embroidery projects, yielding durable and comfortable finished goods.

The quality and characteristics of cotton yarn can vary depending on the type of cotton used, the spinning method, and the yarn's thickness or weight. Fine cotton yarns are often used for delicate fabrics and lace, while thicker yarns are suitable for sturdy textiles and home furnishings. Its natural origin and biodegradable nature also contribute to its appeal as an eco-friendly material, although the environmental impact of cotton cultivation can be significant.
