It’s coming up to a year since @53two opened their doors. I was given the opportunity to create an installation for them in the floor of the new theatre. After researching the space I found that the cotton used to be transported down the canal and then taken off the boats

The comber... This enhances the developing yarn, removing short fibres and impurities from the sliver. By eliminating the short fibres and neps it improves the developing yarn’s evenness, strength, smoothness and overall visual appearance. #cotton #madeinuk

The pandemic and Brexit have changed the way that UK consumers shop, with over two thirds now more likely to buy UK-made products than ever before, according to our survey to mark Made in UK Day 🇬🇧 #madeinukday

Over the past 25 years along with the other Australian farms, our cotton supplier has been able to half the amount of water needed to grow a bale of cotton- which contrary to popular belief is NOT a thirsty crop. #WWD #WorldWildlifeDay #WWD2022

The Autoconer winds the yarns from cops on to cones, analysing the yarn, detecting any faults. The machine cuts out any faults and invisibly splices the yarn back together. It winds at speeds of up to 1,500 metres per min, using 20% less energy than other winders. #Textile #WWD

...and @HistoricEngland we're dead chuffed that you have done! I've visited and it truly is great to see Grade II listed Tower Mill once again producing high quality cotton. With @EFCcottons vision and commitment it is possible 😍 #LoveMills
