Anyone here have experience growing cotton in a northern climate?

I’m experimenting with a few fiber plants in my garden this year. I even found a source for heirloom cotton seeds! I bought 3 different colors: brown, green, and white. But I know that cotton needs a long growing season, so I’m kind of winging it. The seeds are being started indoors, then will be transplanted after the danger of frost has passed. I have no idea how well cotton handles transplanting, or if starting them indoors will give them enough of a jump-start to make it to harvest.

I’m also growing a few flax plants, but I know those will grow here.

My loom arrived a couple weeks ago, but I’ve been so busy with other stuff I haven’t unboxed it yet. Planning to do that on the next rainy day.

I can’t wait to hear about the loom! I’ve always wanted a table-top loom. Hope it works well and is easy to use and useful! :)
