    Default Textile Mill workers removing impurities from raw cotton
    Sharing a photo I took of textile mill workers manually removing impurities from bales of cotton. This is a textile mill in Rawalpindi Pakistan which makes high quality bedding for export to hotels, interesting tour. Most of the cotton is coming from India.

    Your photo and perspective of the tour should make all of us better appreciate the finished fabric we work with.
