CHAPTER I

1.1. INTRODUCTION ABOUT COTTON INDUSTRY

Cotton is a chief crop grown all over the world. Some of the major cotton producing

countries is Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, etc., Cotton industries play a vital role in

Indian economic growth. India is one of the leading country in cotton production. Cotton

grown in Tamilnadu,, Karnataka,. Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and some other places in India. The

major properties of cotton, which play an important role, are fibre length and maturity.

1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE The textile industry is a term used for industries primarily concerned with the design or

manufacture of clothing as well as the distribution and use of textiles. The textile industry

occupies a unique place in our country. One of the earliest to come into existence in India, it

accounts for 14% of the total Industrial production, contributes to nearly 30% of the total

exports and is the second largest employment generator after agriculture.

Textile Industry is providing one of the most basic needs of people and the holds

importance; maintaining sustained growth for improving quality of life. It has a unique position

as a self-reliant industry, from the production of raw materials to the delivery of finished

products, with substantial value-addition at each stage of processing; it is a major contribution

to the country’s economy. Its vast potential for creation of employment opportunities in the

agricultural, industrial, organized and decentralized sectors & rural and urban areas,

particularly for women and the disadvantaged is noteworthy. Although the development of

textile sector was earlier taking place in terms of general policies, in recognition of the

importance of this sector.

Prior to the manufacturing processes being mechanized, textiles were produced in the

home, and excess sold for extra money. Most cloth was made from either wool, cotton, or flax,

depending on the era and location. For example, during the late medieval period, cotton

1

became known as an imported fiber in northern Europe, without any knowledge of what it

came from other than that it was a plant; noting its similarities to wool, people in the region

could only imagine that cotton must be produced by plant-borne sheep. John Mandeville,

writing in 1350, stated as fact the now-preposterous belief: “There grew there [India] a

wonderful tree which bore tiny lambs on the endes of its branches. These branches were so

pliable that they bent down to allow the lambs to feed when they are hungry.” This aspect is

retained in the name for cotton in many European languages, such as German Baumwolle,

which translates as “tree wool”. By the end of the 16 th century, cotton was cultivated

throughout the warmer regions in Asia and the Americas. In Roman times, wool, linen and

leather clothed the European population: the cotton of India was a curiosity that only

naturalists had heard of, and silk, imported along the Silk Road from China, was an

extravagant luxury. The use of flax fibre in the manufacturing of cloth in northern Europe dates

back to Neolithic times.

Cloth was produced in the home, and the excess woven cloth was sold to merchants

called clothiers who visited the village with their trains of pack-horses. Some of the cloth was

made into clothes for people living in the same area and a large amount of cloth was exported.

The process of making cloth depends slightly on the fiber being used, but there are

three main steps: preparation of fibers for spinning, spinning, and weaving or knitting. The

preparation of the fibers differs the most depending on the fiber used. Flax requires retting and

dressing, while wool requires carding and washing. The spinning and weaving processes are

very similar between fibers though.

Spinning evolved from twisting the fibers by hand, to use of a drop spindle, to a

spinning wheel. Spindles or parts of them have been found in very, very old archaeological

sites; they may represent one of the earliest pieces of technology available to humankind was

invented in India between 500 and 1000 AD. It reached Europe via the Middle East in the

European Middle Ages.

Weaving, done on a loom has been around for as long as spinning. There are some

indications that weaving was already known in the Paleolithic. An indistinct textile impression

has been found at Pavlov, Moravia. Neolithic textiles are well known from finds in pile

2

dwellings in Switzerland. One extant fragment from the Neolithic was found in Fayum at a site

which dates to about 5000 BCE. There are many different types of looms, from a simple loom

that dates back to the Vikings, to the standard floor loom.
