NIce bro! Im learning the same. Ive been studying the old way, history, & traditional crafts, etc. since i was 9. If you wanna get in contact lemme know! Id be happy to answer any questions or just share info 😃 (im 17 btw)
I also grow my own cotton to spin but I spin it off of the seed. Just use a small dog brush to comb it out some and spin away. It pulls away from the seed very easily.
Thank you for making this! I'm a homeschool mama, teaching my kiddos about the Civil War and the cotton industry and the Lowell Mills and factories, and was searching for a video that would at least come close to showing how cotton became thread way back then. My 13yo was especially impressed and now wants to learn how to weave like this.
I'm 15 turning 16, I'm starting my garden with avocado and green onion because my mother suddenly bought avocado and the green onion I got from the fridge had roots. I want to have cotton garden and make my own clothes with them. Thank you for the tutorial.
While that was smart. It would have been better to show her how her dress was really made. This video is great if made by had but as you can see the fabric is nowhere near the same. I believe how it's made shows how fabrics for clothes are really made from cotton.
@@jessicapearson9479 This is a way clothes can be "really made." Of course, this was a looser weave, which was a choice by the weaver, but they don't have to be woven loosely. This was the way clothing was made for centuries, and some people still do it now. It definitely could help a child learn how the basic process works, and then you can follow up with educating about factories, or even sweat shops, etc. if you want to modernize it, but this video shows the steps of how a regular person can do it.
You completely misunderstood what I was writing. Try to learn how to comprehend what people are saying before lecturing them about things they already know.
Absolutely Amazing I am extremely impressed on the twist you got from your cotton plus it is a nice financial change from the ever increasing price of wool.
Absolutely amazing video. Thanks for your hard work. Very well explained. Out of many videos yours explained the process so clearly. God bless you for contributing to knowledge and learning.
My friend just moved to Florida and I mentioned about making a scarf from start to finish exactly like this. Makes me want to move south now to make my own fabric! Wow!! Amazing!!
Wow! What an incredible process. I'm absolutely amazed and beyond grateful that you created and shared this video. Thank you and all the very best for your creative pursuits! 🙏🏽🌺
This is amazing!! Its so important to educate ourselves how things are actually made! So hard to find such high quality fabric these days. Theres always some form of plastic in it
This is a video worth watching and saving for later. I grew some cotton for fun and now I'm not sure what to do with it, and you have shown it's actually possible to make your own cloth... I will probably crochet mine, but I do have a small loom I can try and weave on.... Thanks
Amazing! I'm blown away by the work and skill required. The fact that you love what you're doing shows on your face. You're glowing and happy. I love it!
it's an awesome video. Great process to watch and extra points for the squirrel and the drama at the beginning of the video 🤣🤣🤣 great video!! thanks for making it!!!
This video was the deciding factor in me growing cotton plants this year. Have no idea what I’ll do with them because I have equipment to process it but they seem to love the heat so far.
HELOOOO!!!! I grow and spin my own cotton. Since I live in tropical climate, Im fortunate to have now a Cotton tree! 4 years old. So I share your spinning fever!!!! I liked your video very much. I liked your carding technique... So im going to try it, since I think my messy rollags are keeping me from more consistent yarn. Thank You!!!!
This is so cool! Worth mentioning that growing cotton in some US states is illegal because of pests that could infect commercial crops. Not saying the police will raid any gardens, but to those watching, check to see if it's legal to grow where you are! I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to grow marijuana but not cotton 😂
@@annvassallo2604 Yeah, any state where cotton is grown commercially, you'd need a permit. If you're interested, contact the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. If you can show that it is for educational purposes, it is a big plus.
Actually, that is not true. Importing already growing plants is illegal because they could bring pests with them. But it is legal if you grow directly from seed.
*hat-off* I am doing a quick search about how cotton fabric is made and it turned me to your video. Amazingly great for all of your efforts, understanding and technique, and time u put into the product. Just so great. Thanks for sharing!
Well done - I do all that you've done on here but with wool - from washing the fleece etc. I am not sure if cotton would grow where I live (south west Nova Scotia, Canada), but I'm going to find out. Thank you for such a lovely video - so inspiring!
Beautiful yarn and cloth! Loving seeing the whole process in your beautiful video. One thing I love doing is to put a couple of cotton plants in pots at the end of the season and keep them as houseplants 'till next spring. It gets them off to a good start for next year.
@@Luthvarian mine lose any flowers they had, but I think they would do better if I was more diligent at digging up the roots and actually watering potted plants.
I did this, they germinated and evolved into a little plant with 2 leaves, and then died. I tried again and again died. Do they need a lot of heat? or some special soil?
@@ChandChandramukhi Mine like the same conditions as starting tomatoes. There's a sweet spot of not too wet, not too dry, not too cold. Avoid a draft but get lots of airflow to prevent mould and damping off. I find about 70-75F is a good temp.
Did you procure gossypium barbadense seeds? Which variety (Sea Island?)? Where did you purchase or procure them from? Such careful, clean work you did on your piece! Clemes is using such gorgeous woods now for its cards! Congratulations on your hard, consistent work! Have you tried growing the green or brown version of cotton? The seeds are fairly easy to find. I've grown both colors easily. The staple length is less than for any of the white versions but I found the result worth it!
Im 17, hoping to soon make my own fibers and dyes. I crochet and knit, ill be getting angora rabbits soon, sheep in the future and maybe cotton after this video lol.
Please keep in mind that in some parts of the United States growing cotton (even in your private garden ) is illegal. My state of Alabama is one so check your state laws if living in the US. Great video...so informative 👏 👌 👍
@@carolthornley1265 cotton, tobacco, ect...are considered "cash crops" especially here in southern states. Us south folks have to have a permit to grow it. I know it's crazy and probably wouldn't kick up any trouble for a small garden amount but you never know.
@@carolthornley1265 It's so that the State can keep an eye on the boll weevil population. Commercial farms are inspected, but they can't visit every household and they don't want another infestation (at least, that is what I was told ;))
The boll weevil was eradicated in all places in the US except some parts of southern Texas in 2009. So you should check with local governances on the illegality. I suspect they will catch up with the current science soon.
LoL! "Disaster!" to que up the Carl Orff-like music. I grew cotton recently and was happy with the outcome, but not sure how to card it. Looking forward to the rest of your video
Nice job! Your yarn came out gorgeous. It's ilegal to grow cotton where I live but I could buy some bolls and take it from there. It would be fun to try,
I’m only 16, but I want to make all my fabric and dye with plants to make my own clothing. Thank you for this video.
Happy to help and best wishes. I hope you'll share your journey!
NIce bro! Im learning the same. Ive been studying the old way, history, & traditional crafts, etc. since i was 9. If you wanna get in contact lemme know! Id be happy to answer any questions or just share info 😃 (im 17 btw)
I do to🤗
Hey Luciano, seems like you are not the only one! I'm 17 btw lol.
Me too! 17 here. I want everything to be natural, sustainable and friendly to my skin
It makes me so happy to see the full textile process from seed to sample :)
Me too! It is so rewarding to tell people "I made this from dirt."
Very nice not many really make their own stuff anymore so its nice to find channels that can show more insight into these kind of things
Thank you!
I also grow my own cotton to spin but I spin it off of the seed. Just use a small dog brush to comb it out some and spin away. It pulls away from the seed very easily.
Luxurious!
Wooooooooow 🤗

Cotton Industry? So...slavery you mean
This is marvellous!! Back to basics and living almost carbon free. Best wishes
Thank you!

Green onion is a good garden veggie. I've got onion and garlic going, myself. I'd love to hear if you try cotton!
I don't understand how can a plants make fabric
I was able to use this video to teach my preschooler how her dress was made froma cotton plant. THANKS!!!
This made me so happy to hear. As a librarian by profession, I love teaching opportunities!
While that was smart. It would have been better to show her how her dress was really made. This video is great if made by had but as you can see the fabric is nowhere near the same. I believe how it's made shows how fabrics for clothes are really made from cotton.

@@jessicapearson9479 Well, you did say "made by had," so maybe the message wasn't so clear to begin with.
What a fantastic video! I grew my own cotton this year and needed some direction. This is perfect. And such a lovely sincerity!
This warms my heart you exist. Love from India ❤️
I didn’t realise it was possible to be this cool.
I'll need you to come to my highschool reunion and tell my classmates that. ;-)
I know right😂😂😂
That is so cool! Thanks for the video.
Glad you liked it!
Super miniature Process Mill... Thank You... 🎉
I didn't understand the deal with carding, now I do. Thank you.
Absolutely Amazing I am extremely impressed on the twist you got from your cotton plus it is a nice financial change from the ever increasing price of wool.
The finer the fiber and yarn, the more twist it can hold. 💛
Finest in the world silk
I grew cotton this year for the first time. I’m excited for the end results.
Absolutely amazing video. Thanks for your hard work. Very well explained. Out of many videos yours explained the process so clearly. God bless you for contributing to knowledge and learning.
Such a nice example of the basic system of raw cotton to fabric. Thank you. 😊
i thoroughly enjoyed this
My friend just moved to Florida and I mentioned about making a scarf from start to finish exactly like this. Makes me want to move south now to make my own fabric! Wow!! Amazing!!
After a day of hard work watching this video has revived me

Thanks for making the whole process so clear in such a short video.
This was very interesting to watch. A great illustration of the process! So cool.
Yes, it is cool. It's lots of hard work too. It looks difficult to learn all the processes. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, so amazing! I love needlework, sewing, etc. and I loved watching how textiles are actually made.
This was so cool! Thank you for sharing all of your hard work!
This is one of the best videos I have come across. Just when I am discovering charkha. Very comprehensive. Very beautiful. Thank you.
Wonderful! I'm glad you found it helpful and best of luck with your charkha!
That's a tremendous amount of work and equipment.
Loved the Video!
Thank you for sharing. I was able to show my toddler how cotton turns into a cloth or mat. Loved it. Very informative.
What a lovely, clear video!
😮 that is a beautiful and rare art and skill ❤

You are having so good patience
Thank you!
So much of hard work... Awesome job ....brilliant video...thanks so much.
Thank you and I'm glad you found it interesting!
Beautiful yarn and cloth!

thank you very much sister
incredible process
Now this is a useful video! Well done!

Why is that so? It's not a drugs plant right?
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Thank you and happy to share!
Awesome video. I really learned a lot and it was entertaining too. Thank You.
LoL! "Disaster!" to que up the Carl Orff-like music. I grew cotton recently and was happy with the outcome, but not sure how to card it. Looking forward to the rest of your video
Yes, magic!
Wonderful
don't loose hope keep struggling and yoy have a beautiful smile .

Nice job! Your yarn came out gorgeous. It's ilegal to grow cotton where I live but I could buy some bolls and take it from there. It would be fun to try,
That's a great idea!
Those squirrels😩 This was awesome!
As a first resort, you should have started collecting the primary ingredient for squirrel stew. Food a fiber.
Great video-thanks for sharing it!
