15D Nylon Plain Weave 17gsm — High-Density Sheer Fabric for Apparel & Lining | 68 Inch
This isn't a mesh, right? What makes it different from your American mesh or Swiss tulle?
Right, this is a plain weave, not a mesh. Mesh has an open net structure that you can feel with your fingers. This one is flat and smooth to the touch, and the sheerness comes from how fine the yarn is, not from holes in the weave. Use American mesh for puffy layers, use this for linings, cover-ups, and scarves that drape close to the body.
At only 17gsm, will it tear too easily?
No, the nylon yarn has good tensile strength and holds up fine through cutting and sewing. It's not going to rip on your machine. That said, it's too thin and light for daily-wear pieces like leggings. It's made for floaty, delicate pieces, not heavy-duty use.
What's the advantage of the 68-inch width over standard tulle width?
Standard width is often around 58-60 inches. This 68-inch width gives you more room to cut larger pieces — long gowns, full cover-ups, or mass production runs — with fewer joins, which saves you time and fabric.
It has no stretch, right? Can I use it for form-fitting garments?
Correct, 100% nylon, no spandex, no stretch. It drapes beautifully, so it's great for loose cover-ups, scarves, and linings. If you need something form-fitting, you'll want one of our stretch meshes instead. This one is all about the float and the drape.
Is 34 yards per kilo a good yield, and how cost-effective is it?
34 yards per kilo is solid for lightweight fabrics. It's only 17gsm, so one kilo goes a long way — you get more material for your money compared to heavier options. And with the 68-inch width, you can cut large pieces more efficiently, keeping your per-unit cost down. That makes it a smart choice for larger production runs or projects that need a lot of fabric.
