    STEP 1

    Plantation
    Cotton (gossypium) is a shrubby plant which originates from the Mallow family, native to the tropical and subtropical regions from both the Old and New World. Imported in Europe by the Arabs this plant can reach up to 1,5mt height and has a long cycling life. It is cultivated in many countries for the production of fiber cotton used for the production of fabrics.
  • Cotton sliver and preparation

    STEP 2

    Cotton sliver and preparation
    Cotton used is strictly and throughly brushed and bleached without any chlorine and/or optical whitening addition. At this point the process can commence and is divided into 3 phases:
    1. Mixture of fibers from different balls several batches.
    2. Dust removal from the fiber.
    3. Exclusive efficiency booster to enhance quality.
  • Carding

    STEP 3

    Carding
    Carding is a mechanical process that disentangles, cleans and intermixes fibers to produce a continous sliver suitable for subsequent processing through appropriate machinery. The carding machine consists mainly of one big roller with smaller ones surrounding it. All the rollers are covered in small teeth and as the cotton progresses further on, the teeth get finer. The cotton leaves the carding machine in the form of a sliver.
