Development of the times

In the past, one of the dowry when marrying a daughter was a quilt made of new cotton. With the development of the times, playing cotton has now become an old craft, and the tools for playing cotton have gradually changed from the bow, millstone and flower hammer to the machine for playing cotton. The main function of elastic cotton is to separate cottonseed from smooth cotton fiber and make it fluffy and clean.

In this process, uneven cotton wool will be redistributed because of pulling, and cotton will be more comfortable to use after fluffy.
