Cotone
The Chinese cotton
Xinjiang Cotton is an Extra Long Staple cotton grown in the region of Xinjiang, originating from a migration of military personnel to control the boundary areas. They established themselves here and dedicated their days to agriculture in order to survive and subsequently created families. The majority of ginning and trade continues still today by the hand of the Brigades, regiments of the Chinese army.
Fibre length is around 36-37 mm, micronaire is between 3.5 and 4.0 with a good resistance.
The advantage of this cotton is that it is clean from the pollution of foreign fibres thanks to the particular care taken with handling and ginning, such to put it in competition (to a certain extent) with the Egyptian and Supima yarns of the same species.
