The ginning process is the method used to separate cotton fibers from their seeds. This process begins after the cotton is harvested from the fields. The cotton bolls are opened, and the fibers are extracted using a machine called a cotton gin. This machine efficiently removes the seeds while preserving the long, fluffy fibers. Once the fibers are separated, they are cleaned and prepared for further processing. The cleaned cotton fibers can then be spun into yarn or thread, which is used in the production of various textiles. The ginning process is essential for transforming raw cotton into a usable material for the textile industry.
