Nylon yarn refers to a synthetic fiber made from polyamide polymers. It was the world's first fully synthetic fiber and is renowned for its exceptional strength, elasticity, and "silk-like" feel.

1. Key Characteristics

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: It is incredibly strong yet very lightweight.
• Superior Elasticity: Unlike polyester, nylon can stretch significantly and return to its original shape, making it ideal for form-fitting garments.
• Abrasion Resistance: It is highly resistant to wear and tear, which is why it's often blended with wool for socks.
• High Luster: It has a natural sheen that can be adjusted from dull to bright during manufacturing.
