Cotton mill is a term that describes a factory that produces cotton yarns, fabrics, and clothing. Although this term is specific to cotton production, there are other words that can be used depending on the type of textile or product that is being produced. For example, a wool mill could be called a textile mill if various fabrics are produced and sold. A carpet mill could be called a rug factory, and a silk mill could be referred to as a textile factory specializing in silk products. Depending on the region, local dialects and colloquialisms may specify different terms for textile production factories.
