… and what about the spirit of cotton?
THE SPIRIT OF COTTON
ELM EHS
ELN ???
With the instruments available nowadays (HVI, AFIS) we can test and analyze a lot
of parameters (Mic, Length, Strength, Uniformity, Maturity, Neps, Rd, +B etc.), but
there is still something inside of cotton’s fibers having different origins that is
not measurable, and this is what we call “THE SPIRIT OF COTTON”.
This “SPIRIT“ can be mainly found in a particular cotton such as Sea Island,
Egyptian Giza 45 and Giza 87 and it gives to the produced yarn an effect of
“feeling and handle” that you can appreciate in the finished fabric.
For this reason “I Cotoni di Albini” is working mainly with this type of cotton
and the Fabric produced by “Cotonificio Albini” has been recognized on the market
as a product of excellence.
Our aim is to transfer the “Spirit of Cotton” from the field to the Costumer
Thank you
