Cotton has been grown, spun, and woven for thousands of years. This episode explores how cotton plants are cultivated, how their fibers are turned into textiles, and the long history of cotton production around the world. Along the way, you’ll hear about different varieties of cotton, methods of harvesting and processing it, and how this simple plant became one of the world’s most important natural fibers.
It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
