cotton

 
   
thread and woven material from fibres from a tropical plant


COMMENT: Cotton rag was formerly an important source of raw material for papermaking, and rag paper is strong and white, and of very good quality. Because cotton rag is less easily available and in any case is not sufficient to meet increasing demand for good quality paper, most paper is now made from wood pulp.
