There are kinds of cotton with different qualities depending on their origin. The most valuable kind is the Sea Island cotton, with its long silky fibre, which is used for the most refined workmanship. Cotton is classified according to its title, while the length of the fibre defines its quality: the longer it is, the more shiny, resistant and valuable the cotton is.
