COOLSILK: The Perfect Blend of Silk Noil and Regenerated Fiber for a Cool Touch

Unlock a More Comfortable Summer Experience

During the hot summer months, many fabrics feel stuffy and clingy. Pure silk offers an excellent hand feel, but it also needs more careful care and does not always perform well in daily wear.

What the market really needs is a fabric that combines cool breathability, skin-friendly comfort, refined texture, and easy care.

To address these pain points, Shanghai Xiangyi Industrial developed the COOLSILK® blended yarn. It uses 92% lyocell fiber and 8% natural silk noil. By combining the practical performance of regenerated cellulose fiber with the delicate hand feel of silk noil, it suits most summer close-to-skin garments and home textile products.

Silk Noil and Lyocell: Complementary Fibers for Better Texture and Practicality

Pure silk fabric has a soft sheen and feels pleasant against the skin. However, it wrinkles easily, snags easily, and requires more careful washing and maintenance. Ordinary synthetic fibers may offer better durability, but they usually fall short in breathability and moisture management.

This two-fiber blend brings the strengths of both materials together. Lyocell Silk Blend Yarn,The 8% natural silk noil gives the fabric a smooth hand feel and a natural luster, creating a texture close to silk. Meanwhile, lyocell’s loose fiber structure helps move sweat away from the body and improves the fabric’s structure and durability, making it suitable for frequent everyday wear.

Third-party testing shows that the fabric reaches pilling grade 3 or above. Compared with pure silk, it performs better in resisting surface fuzz and pilling. It also keeps a graceful drape while staying practical enough for daily wear and normal washing.

Cool Touch and Breathability: Better Thermal and Moisture Management

Silk noil offers good thermal conductivity, which helps release body heat and keeps the wearer feeling fresh. Lyocell excels at moisture management, helping draw sweat and residual heat away from the skin and reducing the sticky feeling after perspiration.

The fabric delivers a stable cool-touch feel. Compared with ordinary cotton fabric, it helps keep the skin drier and more comfortable. For commuting, short outings, or light perspiration, it can ease the clammy and stuffy feeling that often comes with summer clothing.

Baby-Safe Level Certification and Multiple Color Options for New Product Development

COOLSILK is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, with no harmful chemical residue. It feels gentle on the skin, so it works well for sensitive skin and babies. It is suitable for high-end fashion, children’s clothing, sleepwear, bedding, and other product categories.

Shanghai Xiangyi Industrial also offers an in-stock color card system. It uses reactive eco-friendly dyes with stable color fastness and low fading risk. The range covers Morandi tones, macaron shades, and classic basic colors, helping brands shorten the color selection and sampling cycle and speed up new product launches.

Texture and Value in One Fabric

Compared with pure silk fabric,Lyocell Silk Blend Yarn keeps the fine hand feel, drape, and sheen of silk noil while improving wrinkle resistance, abrasion resistance, and ease of care. As a result, it lowers maintenance costs and offers a strong overall value.

The fabric works well in many scenarios. It suits business shirts and light luxury fashion, and it also fits T-shirts, loungewear, socks, and cool-touch bedding. In other words, it covers a wide range of apparel, home, and baby product development needs.

By blending natural silk noil with regenerated fiber, COOLSILK® helps bridge the gap between rich texture and practical wearability. It goes beyond visual appeal and delivers a stable, comfortable next-to-skin experience, offering a more balanced choice for summer cool-touch fabrics.
