For part 3 of our series, “The Harvest: A Gathering of Conversations for the Future of Cotton,” we talked with Andy Long of SpunLab.
Since we launched the 10,000 Pounds of Cotton on our new sister site Solid State Clothing, (our project to bring the American farmer back to the table in the fashion industry), we’ve been amazed at the response. Our series of discussions with people integral to this project called “The Harvest: A Gathering of Conversations for the Future of Cotton,” has brought the textile industry, old and new customers and worldwide press together to better understand our dirt to shirt journey here in North Carolina.

Our 3rd conversation in the series was with Andy Long, VP of Sales and Marketing at Parkdale Mills’ Spun Lab Division. SpunLab an independent, privately held yarn manufacturer with over 100 years of expertise and combined experience in ring spinning.
