Hand grown, picked, de-seeded (aka ginned), packed, and grown using better than organic methods, heirloom Nankeen, Gossypium hirsutum raw cotton lint (no seeds). It takes me approx. two hours to de-seed (aka gin) one half ounce of cotton by hand. One half ounce of cotton is what is pictured.
After the lint (cotton) has been hand pulled from the husk (boll), each individual seed is removed by hand, all that remains is the pure raw cotton lint.

Feel good knowing you are getting heirloom (non GMO) cotton grown in a chemical free environment (organics). 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...
I am always looking for realistic ways to reduce waste. My heirloom cotton is wrapped in zero waste packaging. I typically ship in recycled kraft bubble mailers, or use recycled boxes. If you order along with more heavy items, it may require much more careful packaging and usually bubble wrap or something similar. I do not buy bubble wrap or other plastic packaging. Any padding of this sort, has been reused. If your order was shipped with bubble wrap, feel free to save the bubble wrap for sending your own packages or for storing delicate items.
