A short documentary made during the war about the wonders of cotton. The aim was really to promote and show off haute couture from cotton materials when other materials were scarce because of the war.
It was a time when cotton was king in Lancashire, as the raw cotton arrived from all over the world into Manchester so it can then be taken to the cotton looms in Lancashire.
We do not just see the yarn being made but the intricate designs for clothes being made by designers and the colourful dyes being produced by scientists.
An interesting short documentary of a life that has vanished, the cotton mills of Lancashire have become extinct.
