I often see on clothes, bags, sheets, etc. a few % of polyester in the cotton cloth label. What does this mean and why do they do it? Are they weaving one out of every few strands out of polyester? Or is the fiber itself made of a few % polyester in composition? And what does it do for the cloth?

100% cotton isn’t very feasible for daily wear. It shrinks, not as durable as poly-cotton, needs way more ironing than the blends etc.
When you blend polyester and cotton you get a stronger, less shrink-prone, more durable and longer lasting cloth that requires very minimal or maybe even zero ironing.
