Removing cotton seeds from cotton fiber is done by a machine called the cotton gin. It’s built to separate the seeds from the lint quickly and cleanly, making the fiber ready for spinning into yarn. This device transforms the processing of cotton by doing in minutes what was previously a laborious hand-separation task, which is why it’s the best answer for this question. The spinning Jenny is used to spin fiber into thread or yarn, not to remove seeds. A threshing machine separates grain from husks, not cotton seeds. A mechanical harvester gathers crops, but it doesn’t separate seeds from cotton fiber either.
