It’s in your closet, your bathroom, and your daily routine — but few people have ever seen where it begins. 🧵👕🛁
From sunlit cotton fields to roaring textile mills, Captain Discovery takes you behind the scenes of how the world’s most familiar fabric is made. According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization, the world produces over 25 million tons of cotton every year — enough to make more than 25 billion T-shirts. Yet few people have ever seen how a soft white bloom turns into the thread that shapes our world.
Watch how nature, technology, and human skill come together to spin, weave, and finish every fiber in How It’s Made: Cotton, T-Shirts, Bath Towels.
