Viljanen, Mira Svedström, Kirsi G. herbaceum species G. hirsutum CC-BY Cotton (Gossypium species) was used as textile fibre already in the early Indus culture, and since then it has been cultivated in Tropical and Subtropical regions around the whole planet. The species G. hirsutum is nowadays the dominant cotton crop with more than 90% of the world market, while G. barbadense, G. herbaceum and G. arboreum combined, the other cultivated species of Gossypium genus total a minor part of world’s cotton production. Even in places where cotton was not cultivated, it could be an important trade item and income source for local textile centres, with the imported raw cotton lint being spun, woven and for some part exported from such sites around the globe. This all occurred far away from Finland, until changes brought by the development of long-distance trade and the Industrial Revolution. Based on archaeological finds, cotton as a textile material reached Finland relatively late, in the early Middle Ages. 2023-08-18T03:49:21Z 2023-08-18T03:49:21Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40494-023-01022-2 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/8838 en application/pdf Springer
