You may ask, so what is a cotton staple and why does it matter? Cotton staple refers to the length of cotton fibre. Unlike its synthetic counterparts, cotton is an all-natural fibre that comes in different length - short, long and extra long staple cotton is available in the market. The difference in cotton staple has a great impact on the cotton’s quality, strength and softness. The longer the cotton staple length, the softer, stronger and smoother the fabric is made to be. Short staple cotton, also known as Upland Cotton is commonly available in the market, made for everyday use. Long staple cotton is often used in luxurious products such as scarves, bedding and towel. In addition to impeccable softness and smoothness, a fabric made of long staple cotton does not pill or tear easily compared to short staple cotton and its synthetic counterparts.
