Cotton that is ready for you to remove from the boll/husk if you wish to use the lint for spinning and stuffing, etc. Intact bolls are great for educational purposes. Because the bolls are intact, once you remove the lint from the husk, you can then remove the seeds from the lint and plant them.
Whole bolls are also used for decorative purposes.
- Qty: 6 bolls of organically grown, hand picked & packed Arkansas Green raw cotton

This is for raw heirloom cotton in the husks/bolls with seeds intact. Depending on the time of harvest, some leaves may be brown, green, a mix of both or there may be no leaves at all.
If you spin, you will welcome having your very own chemical free all natural organic cotton! No dye, no bleach, no chemicals, nothing artificial, nothing added. 100% pure, natural and organic cotton made by Mother Nature, not Monsanto/Bayer!
Feel good knowing you are getting non GMO heirloom cotton grown in a chemical free environment. I intermingle all my crops creating a messy but beautiful landscape. I believe this attracts a larger variety of bugs, helping to keep any one species from overtaking. NO! sprays or treatments, even the organic approved types. I work with Mother Nature, not against her...
Growing guide
FYI:
Approx. weights/fills/sizes for cotton filled pillows:
"Conventional cotton is considered the world's 'dirtiest' crop due to its heavy use of insecticides, the most hazardous pesticide to human and animal health. Conventional cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land yet uses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop.
Aldicarb, parathion, and methamidopho, three of the most acutely hazardous insecticides to human health as determined by the World Health Organization, rank in the top ten most commonly used in cotton production. All but one of the remaining seven most commonly used are classified as moderately to highly hazardous.
Aldicarb, conventional cotton's second best selling insecticide and most acutely poisonous to humans, can kill a man with just one drop absorbed through the skin, yet it is still used in 25 countries and the US, where 16 states have reported it in their groundwater." - Organic Trade Association
