When it comes to cotton, size does matter. In fact, size is everything. What’s important is the length of the cotton fiber (or “staple”), the fine little strands that make up the white fluff on a cotton plant. These fluffy balls are technically called “bolls,” and our entire team here at Feather Baby spends a lot of time thinking about them. That’s our job. Luckily, however, most people need to keep only a few things in mind when it comes to cotton—especially when they’re shopping for soft, high-quality baby clothes.
