Hi! I'm growing some organic cotton (green this year), and now that it's blooming, I'm not sure what to do with it. :blushing:

Does anyone have a use for it? I thought about selling it on ebay, along with the seeds, but I'm not sure...

I'm not sure it'll go well on ebay as is. Volume is so high on unspun cotton that you'll need a huge box to ship a reasonable amount which will trigger dimensional weight charges and drastically increase your cost.

Get it spun into thread, then you could sell it. Don't know how to spin thread? Now you got an excuse to learn a new hobby!

IF this girl can make thread out of her rabbit, you can do it out of your cotton.

That was pretty cool but that was one freaky lookin' rabbit.

Where did you get your seeds and are they heritage seeds or hybrid?
