Question

Is there a preference to wear a Tallit Katan made entirely of cotton over one that is mostly made of nylon?

Answer

Shalom Rav

There is a preference to wear a Tallit made of cotton rather than nylon.

Source

See Igrot Moshe, Orach Chaim, Part 2, Siman 1, where it states that one does not recite a blessing on a nylon garment. Even though there are differing opinions if it is woven, it is certainly not correct initially.
