Cotton (CO) comes from a plant and is processed into yarns, suitable for soft, air-permeable textile production. Woven or knitted cotton textile features great moisture absorption and is easy to wash. It does not acquire electric charge and maintains its features up until 150°C. Because of this, it is perfectly suitable for clothing that is in direct contact with the skin. The recommended washing temperature of cotton textiles is up to 60°C. Cotton is often mixed with different synthetic yarns, especially polyester and polyamide, which ensure the durability and longevity of the fabric. Cotton fibres are not elastic, which is why they are often also mixed with elastane.
