Joking about “noble fiber” – the myth of colored cotton
Caimian’s self-report: My name is Caimian, and many people don’t know the real me. People always think that I am a brand-new textile material, but in fact, wild colorful cotton has existed in nature for thousands of years. There are traces of colored cotton in many places such as Peru and Turkey, and there are also records about me in some ancient Chinese books. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a kind of colored cotton was grown in China, and the textiles hand-processed with its fibers were called “purple cloth”. It’s just that in the process of industrialization, especially with the development of the chemical industry, because white cotton has a high yield and is more suitable for dyeing colorful fabrics to meet people’s multi-color needs, people gradually eliminated cotton of other colors, and colored cotton Cotton faded out of people’s sight, and over time I was forgotten by everyone.
Many people think that the color on my body is caused by dyeing and is unhealthy. In fact, you are totally wrong. I use modern bioengineering technologies such as hybridization and gene transduction to cultivate a type of cotton that has natural colors such as red, yellow, green, and brown when it is spun. Because it is a natural color, there is no need for dyeing during the weaving process, which reduces the pollution process of chemical agents, so it is harmless to the human body. It is known as “noble fiber” and “plant cashmere”.
This is why many product raw materials today use me as a treasure.
The myth that colored cotton helped enterprises create
1. The modern fairy tale of the King of Colored Cotton [full text]
In 1999, No staining, better. Colored cotton king Xu Tongbao did not rest on his laurels when his business was prosperous. He was working hard to find new growth points. Colored cotton is cotton wool that is naturally colored. It has many advantages that ordinary cotton cannot match: flexible fiber, pure color, no printing and dyeing pollution, no pesticide pollution, and strong disease resistance. In particular, underwear made of colored cotton is breathable, comfortable, and skin-friendly, and is positioned as a “high-grade” and “friendly” clothing fabric. “Dingguagua” Colored Cotton Clothing Co., Ltd. began to engage in the research and development, processing, promotion and application of colored cotton, and soon received the “China Environmental Labeling” certification, one of the few in the domestic textile and apparel industry. It has eight series of underwear, sweaters, baby clothes, T-shirts, shirts, home clothes, home textiles, and socks, with more than 500 varieties, and has become a famous brand product in Jiangsu Province. The sales network covers more than 300 cities across the country and more than 1,600 outlets, with annual sales exceeding 100 million yuan. “No dyeing, more outstanding” “Dingguagua” colored cotton weaves a more gorgeous sky for Donghua.
2. The Myth of Duocai Colored Cotton Underwear [Full Text]
Since Duocai launched colorful cotton underwear in 2003, the “colored cotton craze” in China’s underwear market has continued to heat up. Colored cotton underwear, with its “green, natural, environmentally friendly and healthy” characteristics, has won the love of consumers, and Duocai has therefore become a “first-line” brand in the colorful cotton underwear industry.
Today and tomorrow of colored cotton
1. Large output
It is understood that the industrialization of colored cotton in China started 10 years ago. At present, the colored cotton industry has become a new competitive growth point in China’s cotton textile industry. Colored cotton is planted all over Xinjiang, Gansu, Hunan, Anhui, Sichuan, Shanxi, Zhejiang and other suitable cotton-producing areas. Hybridization and systematic breeding are used in various places. Through other means, new varieties of colored cotton have been cultivated, and their quality has reached the highest level.
and supply base.

2. Advanced environmental protection drives the development of cotton textile industry
my country has become the largest producer of natural colored cotton. The development of the colored cotton industry is conducive to environmental protection and can improve the profitability of the textile industry; and The development of natural colored cotton is conducive to improving the existing cotton industry structure and improving the market competitiveness of the cotton industry; at the same time, the development of the colored cotton industry is conducive to increasing the income of cotton farmers and strengthening the regional economy.
3. Favored by South Asian merchants
“Xinjiang’s colored cotton is of high quality and low price, and the market demand is large. We plan to import 5,000 tons this time.” At the 16th Urumqi Foreign Economic and Trade At the negotiation meeting, Jayant Shah, procurement officer of the Indian company Gilla.Co.Pvt.Ltd, told reporters.
India and Pakistan are both major textile countries, and their colored cotton products are mainly sold to developed countries in Europe and the United States. Their increased demand for colored cotton shows that the international market for colored cotton products is booming. In addition, cotton merchants from the United States, Sri Lanka, Sweden and other countries have also expressed interest in Xinjiang colored cotton.
4. Unlimited potential
Data shows that if all knitwear in our country were made of colored cotton fabrics, the water consumption saved could support the lives of residents in two large cities, Beijing and Shanghai, for 18 months. Use water. The cost of bleaching, dyeing and finishing of ordinary white cotton during processing is 5,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan/ton, while colored cotton has natural colors and does not require bleaching and dyeing during production and processing, which can reduce the amount of fresh water and save pollution control costs; the development of colored cotton has It is conducive to improving the existing cotton industry structure and improving the market competitiveness of the cotton industry. Cotton textiles are a traditional product of our country.However, my country’s cotton industry currently has problems such as more ordinary cotton, less specialty cotton, monotonous cotton fiber types, and cotton spinning technology needs to be upgraded. The colored cotton industry not only enriches and develops the cotton industry, but also helps increase the income of cotton farmers and strengthen the regional economy. The trading price of brown cotton in the international market is usually about 1.5 times that of white cotton, and the price of green cotton is even higher. The quality and color of colored cotton are stable, the yield per unit area is close to that of ordinary white cotton, and the production management is basically the same as that of ordinary cotton, so it is very popular among cotton farmers. Practice has proved that planting colored cotton in normal years can increase the income of cotton farmers by more than 200 yuan per mu compared with planting ordinary white cotton, thereby promoting the development of regional economy. Colored cotton planting uses the “company + base + farmer” order farming method to drive cotton farmers to plant colored cotton. Up to now, the group has planted more than 1 million acres of natural colored cotton, which has increased the income of cotton farmers by about 200 million yuan, and each household has increased income by more than 4,000 yuan.
Good jade awaits carving
At present, there are still some problems in the development of colored cotton industry. The research and development capabilities of colored cotton are relatively lagging behind, which limits the large-scale development of colored cotton. It is too monotonous, has only one or two colors, and is very dull; secondly, the fiber is short and thick, and the fiber fastness of the woven clothing is poor, and it is easy to appear ” Hair loss” phenomenon. Thirdly, colored cotton has the characteristic of unstable color. Fabrics will “fading” when exposed to the sun for a long time and soaked in sweat, which greatly affects the appearance of the clothes. Most of the products currently developed are blended with other fibers. Secondly, the planting methods of colored cotton are traditional and the management method is single. During the planting process, the isolation was not strict, and cross-pollination occurred in cotton pollination, resulting in serious mixing of colored cotton and white cotton varieties, which directly affected the high quality and high yield of colored cotton. In addition, since the planting technology is not yet mature, it is inevitable to use the same planting methods as ordinary cotton such as fertilization and pesticide application, which cannot be completely pollution-free.
The road of colored cotton is getting wider and wider
As a new type of textile raw material, natural colored cotton has invested a large amount of scientific research funds in its development and the agricultural products The development cycle is based on natural years, which will inevitably affect the pace of development of the colored cotton industry. Relevant experts pointed out that “enriching the colors of colored cotton and improving fiber quality”, the road to scientific research on colored cotton will never end. But this will take time to complete.
In the next period of time, colored cotton, organic cotton, and kapok will become a three-legged trend. Driven by colored cotton brands such as Duocai and Dingguagua, the entire colored cotton industry will be activated. China’s colored cotton industry has been The year showed unprecedented vitality. Industrial development drives scientific research progress. After years of technical reserves and gradually accumulated funds as a guarantee, we have “seed hybridization, organic planting, color diversification, bright colors, pigment stabilization, strong compliance, and harmless production.” As the goal, the development of the colored cotton industry will go further and longer.
