Cotton can be obtained by setting up [scavenging tent](https://havendock.fandom.com/wiki/Scavenging_Tent "Scavenging Tent")s and setting settlers off to collect these materials. Alternatively, when the boat is upgraded, you can go to [Moon Island](https://havendock.fandom.com/wiki/Moon_Island "Moon Island") and purchase cotton seeds from the trader at the bottom (round the corner from the dock) which can then be farmed same as other crops. However, you will need to repeatedly purchase them as no way to obtain a supply of seeds otherwise.
