Pulled from the burst bolls of a cotton shrub, these fibers are soft, warm, and impossibly light — a handful weighs almost nothing yet holds together well enough to spin. Cleaned of their seeds and carded smooth, they take to the loom with an ease flax never shows.
The cloth cotton makes is gentler against the skin than linen and holds warmth far better, which is why tailors reach for it the moment a garment is meant to be worn rather than merely worked in.


Cotton Fibers

Soft white tufts picked clean from cotton bolls.

A Cotton shrub, its branches heavy with soft white bolls.

Cotton grows as a low, sprawling shrub across the warmer meadows of the middle isles, its branches breaking open in season into round white bolls. Each boll is packed with soft, cloud-light fibers — @items/fibers/cotton — that all but fall into a forager's hand.
Where flax must be beaten and retted before it gives up its thread, cotton offers itself freely, and the cloth it makes is softer and warmer than plain linen ever manages. It is the first fiber a forager gathers that feels less like harvesting and more like picking clouds.

. Each round boll breaks open packed with cloud-light fibers that all but fall into the hand, asking none of the beating and retting that flax demands. Foragers count it the gentlest harvest in the craft.
