Nylon
An important application for nylon filament yarn is the
production of a wide variety of textile textiles such as
mosquito nets, sarees, draperies, and furniture and
upholstery. Nylon filament yarn may also be used to
embroider and make sportswear. Because of its high
tensile strength, good colorfastness, and flexibility
with improved abrasion resistance, nylon filament yarn
is well-known. Natural yarns like cotton, silk, and wool
are favoured because of their inherent qualities, but
this synthetic yarn has certain advantages as well.

Detailed Information
There are two types of nylon monofilament yarn:
brilliant and semi-dull lustre. Nylon monofilament yarn
is described as a single strand of untwisted continuous
fibre.
During the spinning process, the ends of the multifilament mother yarn are broken apart to create monofilament mother yarn. Sarees, gowns, drapes, and mosquito nets are just a few of the items that may benefit from their use. It is also used in the automotive industry and in the production of athletic shoes.
These nylon filament yarns are multi-purpose and may be
used in a number of weaving projects.
