Types of cotton fabrics:

Woven cotton: This type of cotton fabric is created by interlacing two sets of yarns at right angles. It's commonly used for shirts, dresses, pants, and home decor items.   


Knitted cotton: Knitted cotton fabrics are made by interlocking loops of yarn. They tend to be more stretchy and comfortable than woven cotton, making them suitable for t-shirts, sweaters, and loungewear.   


Organic cotton: This type of cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms. It's considered to be more environmentally friendly than conventional cotton.
