Cotton is divided into three categories according to the place of cultivation:

1 coarse cotton (Asian cotton)    Price situation: Unknown, lower than fleece and fleece

2 long-staple cotton (cotton island)      Price situation: 20000 yuan / ton and above

Native to South America. High fiber length and high strength are the characteristics, suitable for spinning high count yarns. The fiber is thin and long. The general length is more than 33mm . The linear density is about 1.54~1.18dtex ( 6500~8500 ) and the strength is more than 4.5cN . Its excellent quality is mainly used for the preparation of superior cotton yarns that are finer than 10tex . China has less plantation, except for Xinjiang long-staple cotton, imports mainly include Egyptian cotton, Sudan cotton and so on.

 

3 fine cotton (upland cotton, cotton)   Price situation: 12,000 yuan / ton and above

The first type of fiber is slender (in the range of 2.5 to 6.5 cm ( 1 to 2.5 inch) in length) and is glossy, including sea-island cotton, Egyptian cotton, and pima cotton, which are of excellent quality. Long-staple cotton is low in production, expensive and expensive, and is mainly used for high-grade gauze and knitwear;


The second category includes general medium-length cotton, such as U.S. cotton, with a length of about 1.3-3.3 cm ( 0.5-1.3 inches);


The third category is short-fibre cotton, about 1 to 2.5 centimeters ( 0.375 to 1 inch) in length, used to make cotton blankets and inexpensive fabrics, or blended with other fibers.
