  1. @whatkatiediduk yeah…

    The nieche on "real [as in 100%] #Nylons" is small and not as profitable as it used to when they were the norm.
    - And aside from few connaisseurs (like with #NylonStockings) or nieche applications (parachutes and paragliders, and even there it's obsoleted) pure #Nylon is considered "too flimsy" compared to even a 25% #Elastane blend.

    Not to mention the yield rates are worse (see *"#Imperfects"*) which further increases costs.
    - And then there is competition fron overseas.
