Is it possible to make cotton fabric from cotton I grow in my garden?
I know you can make thread by handspinning, but can you make fabric, too somehow? If so, how do you do it?
Yes! You do have to spin it first. Then you will need a weaving loom. You will want one that will warp a lot of threads to an inch. You will need to warp the loom then you can weave the cotton you have spun. I would suggest finding a class on weaving or at least someone who can show you how to warp the loom. Check your phone book for yarn shops. They may be able to put you in contact with a weavers guild. Guilds sometimes have equipment to teach on or loan out to guild members. They also have a wealth of knowledge about weaving cloth.
