mauve cotton fabric

Cotton is a natural material that is soft and breathable. It is also durable and can last for many years if properly cared for. Cotton sheets are available in a variety of weights, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. The downside of cotton is that it wrinkles easily and may require more frequent washing than rayon sheets.

The cellulose is dissolved in caustic soda and left to age for a couple of days. From there, carbon sulfide is added to the mix to create xanthate, a pulpy, yellowish substance. Xanthate is then forced through tiny holes (spinnerets), with the resulting products dropping directly into a sulfuric acid bath that solidifies them into fibers. Lastly, those fibers are spun into threads or yarns, which can be dyed or further treated to fit different applications.
