mauve cotton fabric

Pima cotton is a luxury material that composes extra-long staple (ELS) cotton fibers ( longer than 34 millimeters), which makes it an ultra-soft fabric. They are produced from a specific type of cotton plant called Gossypium barbadense, only found in tropical areas, which is highly susceptible to frost damage. Due to its incredible softness and richness of texture, it is commonly used in high-end clothing and bed sheets. And one highly likable attribute of prima cotton is its pilling resistance due to its long fibers. 

One of the positives of Rayon is that it is produced using a natural fiber that can be quickly grown. However, it is cheaper to get the needed wood pulp by clearing forests. This means that even though it is possible to take a sustainable approach to making Rayon, not all manufacturers are.
