Is twill made of 100 percent cotton?
"Twill", like real velvet, is a type of weave of fiber threads. You could have cotton twill, all right, but you might also have polyester/cotton twill. In theory, you could have twill woven of yak hair.
What is the raw material used for cotton?
Cotton comes from the cotton plant. The seeds of the cotton plant are contained in a capsule called a boll, each seed surrounded by fibres of two types. These fibres are are removed by a process called ginning. At the first ginning the longer fibres, called staples, are removed and these are twisted together to form yarn for making thread and weaving into high quality textiles. At the second ginning the shorter fibres, called linters, are removed, and these are woven into lower quality textiles including the Lint. The commercial species of cotton plant are G. hirsutum (90% of world production)
