Ultrafine 15D/20D Second-Skin Nylon
Weightless ultrafine-gauge nylon for the seamless second-skin silhouette that is defining 2026 activewear.
Home / Fabrics / Yoga fabrics / Nude-Feel Brushed Nylon Spandex
A brushed, matte nylon spandex developed for the 'second skin' legging category. The peach finish kills the cold-touch feel of technical knits, so the fabric reads as soft before the garment is even worn.

Buyer questions
220 gsm is the commercial sweet spot: heavy enough to stay opaque in mid tones, light enough to keep the soft drape brands are chasing. Below 200 gsm most colours need a liner; above 240 gsm the fabric starts to feel compressive rather than bare.
Brushing raises fibres, so pilling risk is real. We specify a tighter brushing pass and test Martindale pilling (ISO 12945-2) before bulk. Ask for the test result with your sample — do not take 'no pilling' on trust.
Send a 20 × 20 cm swatch or an approved garment. We match composition, weight, stretch direction and hand-feel, then send a lab dip plus a strike-off in your chosen colour.
Dyed-to-order runs start from 300 kg per colour for this quality; stock shades and sample lengths are available in smaller quantities for trials.
