Firestar Nylon is a combed, lightweight, uniform synthetic fiber designed to be easily blended with natural fibers and used in artistic work. It is composed of trilobal nylon, a special section of the fiber that reflects light in an amplified manner, creating a unique shimmering, brilliant effect. It feels fine, smooth and flowing to the touch, with a light, non-invasive texture. Placed in blends, it gives brightness without weighing down the structure of the yarn.
Firestar nylon is derived from synthetic polyamide fibers developed from polymers obtained through advanced chemical processes. First introduced in the 1930s, nylon represents one of the most significant innovations in the history of textile materials. Production is now widespread globally, with main industrial hubs in Asia (China, Japan), Europe and the United States, where advanced technologies enable high-performance, uniform fibers. In the case of Firestar, processing is oriented toward aesthetic and functional performance: the fiber's unique trilobal structure was created precisely to maximize light reflection, transforming a technical fiber into an expressive element.
The dyes used for our products meet the requirements of the OEKO-TEX standard, which guarantees the control and limitation of substances potentially harmful to human health and the environment.
The dyeing of fibers is carried out in our dyehouse in Italy, in compliance with current European regulations on chemical substances and environmental safety, including the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006), which governs the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical substances.
Operating within the European Union also entails compliance with additional provisions on environmental protection and textile product safety, such as the CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008), relating to the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures. This regulatory framework ensures that dyeing processes are conducted according to high standards of safety, traceability and environmental responsibility, offering a reliable product for both the end user and the environment.
Our firestar nylon tops are perfect for l´needle felting, forwater felting, for spinning, the hand weaving.
