22gsm Nylon Metallic Mesh — Lightweight with A Soft Sparkle | 27 y/kg | 65 Inch

Sparkle is in the yarn on all three, won't rub off. The difference is weight. 12gsm is the lightest, sheerest, most floaty — 52 yards per kilo, lowest cost. 15gsm is slightly thicker, a bit more solid. 22gsm has more body than both, easier to handle, less drifting around when you sew. Want that airy bridal overlay look? Go 12gsm or 15gsm. Want sparkle with a bit more control and structure? Go 22gsm. Not sure? We'll send all three swatches. You'll know the moment you feel them.

Still sheer. 22gsm is on the heavier side within the sparkle mesh family, but it's still a lightweight fabric overall. Light passes through, just with a bit more body than the ultra-sheer versions. The sparkle still catches beautifully. And if you've ever struggled with ultra-light mesh blowing around or slipping while you sew, this weight is much easier to handle.

Not that loud glittery kind. It's a soft metallic sheen that comes from the yarn itself. Under lights it's beautiful, but it won't blind anyone. A lot of customers tell us the real thing looks better than photos — cameras can't quite catch that subtle shimmer. From a distance it reads as a solid color. Up close, you see the detail. When it moves, the light plays off it. That's the effect.

Very friendly. 65 inches is wider than standard, so you can cut larger pieces without piecing — saves labor and fabric. 27 yards per kilo is a solid yield for 22gsm. Nylon is light, so even though it's heavier than the 12gsm and 15gsm versions, one kilo still goes quite far. When you crunch the numbers, this one holds up well on cost.

Yes, but keep the heat low. Use a cool setting and put a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric — don't let the iron touch it directly. Nylon doesn't like high heat, it'll shrink and deform, and the sheen might dull. Low heat with a pressing cloth, you're fine. For bridal overlays and decor, you usually don't need to iron it at all — just hang it and the creases fall out.
