Once the cotton bolls have been gathered, they are carded to clean them of any debris. This is done using a manual or semi-mechanised machine that combs the fibre. It's a time-consuming task as the fibres are carded many times to ensure all the waste left from the cotton seeds is taken out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cleaned fibre is then spun into yarn on a charkha (spinning wheel) or spindle. The spinning thins out the fibres into a more standard thickness and gives length to the yarn while twisting it to give it strength. This yarn is measured and then prepared for the loom, itself a lengthy process, where it is hand woven to create the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only is cloth made this way environmentally friendly, it also maintains the intrinsic properties of cotton which are usually damaged during machine-processing. Its weave creates air pockets which make it cool in summer and warm in winter and its inherent strength makes it highly durable. The semi-slubbed texture adds authenticity, a richness and variety to the cloth that is not found in machine-processed fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny variations or irregularities are to be celebrated. They are part of the design \u0026amp; inherent to the handcrafted production process, making this item beautifully unique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jumeirah Road","offers":[{"title":"S\/M","offer_id":59576341397585,"sku":"HOWSBWWS","price":575.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"M\/L","offer_id":59576341430353,"sku":"HOWSBWWS","price":575.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/4845\/3969\/files\/SK-cot-10.jpg?v=1779955033","url":"https:\/\/jumeirahroad.com\/products\/wrap-skirt-cotton-checks-big","provider":"J R Ethical Fashion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
