Hi, believe it or not, nylon can trap heat, but not as much heat as wool or denim. I have done a project on it and it absorbs a good amount of heat. Wool absorbs more because of it's fibres and denim because of it's thickness.
wool!
Nylon
yes
because it absorbs the heat from the sun

Silk is well known for being warmer than wool. Nylon and cotton are poorer insulators. (As well, there are other types of "wool" which are known for being much warmer than sheep's wool...)
Natural fibers, such as Cotton or wool, synthetic fibers such as polyester or nylon, and of course animal skins (leather)
Heat insulation would be wool. Note that denim is normally made of cotton, or a cotton/polyester blend. None of them would be very good electrical insulation when wet.

Wool fibers have air pockets that trap heat and create insulation, slowing down heat transfer. Additionally, the protein structure of wool fibers absorbs and retains moisture, which further helps to regulate temperature and reduce heat loss.
Fabrics that are dark in color, made of natural materials like wool or cotton, and have a tight weave tend to absorb more heat because they are better at trapping and retaining heat. Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon are less heat-absorbent and allow for better airflow, making them cooler to wear in hot conditions.
Yes, not easily because of its lanolin content, but yes, wool absorbs water.
Nylon is not a good thermal insulator as it has a low resistance to heat flow. It is a synthetic material that does not have good insulating properties compared to materials like wool or down. It can conduct heat, which makes it unsuitable for use in applications where thermal insulation is important.
Wool makes excellent fabric. It's lightweight and soft, and it absorbs moisture and keeps your skin drier than other cloth does. It's also great at protecting you from heat and cold.
Heat conductivity in denim fabrics determines how quickly heat transfers through the material. Denim with higher heat conductivity will feel cooler to the touch as it allows heat to escape more easily, making it breathable and comfortable in warm conditions. Conversely, denim with lower heat conductivity may feel warmer as it retains heat better.
