High Quality Cotton bolls

these are high quaility cotton bolls. 25 high quality cotton balls were being sold over this site for 22 dollars, that is almost 40 rs. per boll. below few pictures are of education bolls.
And bolls of a lower quality were being sold for 34 dollars. The website calls the lower quality bolls the education bolls, the reason being teachers that wanted to give the bolls to the children in their class. The children would pull the seed out so it really didn't matter how uniform the boll was. The website says. "I call these bolls seconds ~ They don't make the 1st class grade that I sell for decorations and crafts. They may be missing a loc or two, dirty or misshaped. Although there will be several that may work fine for you."
