Cotton tops<\/strong> represent a pure and natural fiber of plant origin, obtained from the down that envelops the seeds of the cotton plant. Tops processing, which involves combing and aligning the fibers, results in a neat, uniform and highly workable raw material. Soft, breathable and versatile<\/strong>, cotton is one of the most widely used fibers in the textile world and lends itself perfectly to spinning, weaving and fiber art techniques that require naturalness, stability and ease of use. <\/p>\n

Availability and packaging
\n<\/strong>Our cotton tops are available in packages of 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg <\/strong>per color. Each package has a natural tolerance of \u00b13%<\/strong> and contains cotton in continuous tape. <\/strong>The different packages are designed for both those who need small quantities and those who need large quantities and\/or want to save money. For extra-CEE<\/strong> shipments, the packages (with the exception of 5 and 10 kg) are vacuum-packed<\/strong>, reducing volume and lowering shipping costs. Don’t worry: once opened, the fiber returns to its original<\/strong>, fluffy volume<\/strong> without any loss of quality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Mak\u00f2 cotton is an Extra Long Staple (ELS) cotton<\/strong> variety, historically grown in Egypt<\/strong> along the Nile Valley, where climatic conditions and soil fertility favor the development of particularly fine, long and strong fibers. Today this type is also produced in other areas with similar agronomic characteristics, but it continues to be associated with the quality standard of Egyptian cotton. The longer fiber length allows for more uniform processing and greater cohesion between the filaments, reducing the presence of impurities and improving the regularity of the final material. Mak\u00f2 cotton is thus considered one of the finest qualities of cotton in the world, prized for its continuity, strength and natural softness. <\/p>","origine_tracciabilita_source":{"label":"Origine e tracciabilit\u00e0","type":"wysiwyg","formatted_value":"
