Organic Cotton: Shankar-6 – Market Overview & Industry Significance

Organic Shankar-6 cotton is becoming increasingly popular in India's domestic cotton market as an eco-friendly and high-quality fiber substitute to synthetic cotton. The 28mm staple length variety is one of the popular organic Shankar-6 products.

However, it doesn’t have the downsides of being grown using synthetic chemicals or genetically modified seeds. It satisfies the increasing consumer and industry demand for sustainable and ethically sourced raw materials.

The 28mm staple length provides great spinnability and fiber uniformity, which makes it well-suited for spinning medium and high-count yarns. It finds extensive application in the production of organic clothing, baby clothes, and bed linen. Its inherent softness and durability make it suitable for use in various applications, especially among brands interested in keeping pace with sustainable fashion aspirations.
