Cotton is the original fabric type for inked ribbons. It is characterized by a coarse weave that gives deep, bold impressions to your letters.
Cotton comes at a cost. Not only is it a more expensive ribbon stock, but the natural fiber slowly degrades, and clogs up your type, requiring regular brushing to keep your letters printing clear.
If you choose to add this flair of authenticity to your typewriter, you can go one step further and order a single spool in a ribbon tin, just like the good old days. The twin spool option is a standard two spool setup for a total replacement.
