Nude-Feel Brushed Nylon Spandex
Buttery-soft brushed nylon spandex — the fabric behind the most-copied legging silhouette in the market.
Home / Fabrics / Yoga fabrics / Ultrafine 15D/20D Second-Skin Nylon
Knitted from 15D/20D filament yarn, this is the lightest fabric in the range. It is built for garments that are meant to disappear on the body — high-waisted seamless leggings, bonded tops, sculpting one-pieces.

Buyer questions
D is denier — the thickness of the filament yarn. 15D/20D is roughly half the thickness of the 40D yarn used in standard activewear knits. Finer yarn means a smoother, denser, lighter fabric, and it is what makes the 'second skin' feel possible.
Yes, provided the knit density is right. Finer yarn has less abrasion resistance per filament, so we compensate with higher stitch density and test abrasion before bulk. For high-friction training wear, the 240 gsm compression quality in this range is the safer choice.
The fabric itself is cut-and-sew. For true seamless garment knitting you need a garment machine, not fabric — we can advise which route fits your target price and MOQ.
300 kg per colour dyed-to-order. Ultrafine qualities are made to order, so allow 25–30 days for bulk after lab dip approval.
