I am so disappointed in lack of traffic as I was so excited about this

   I agree with Solaras. When people are looking for a material that probably has the properties of Taslan they wouldn't search on the name itself. People want good things for little money.
   
   Changing the title might be a very good idea. Evaluating the summary on keywords is also a good idea.

         I would probably go with ' best affordable waterproof...' rather than 'cheap best waterproof...'

            Also, if this is for people interested in sewing or camping it might broaden your audience to add that to the title with a pipe
            
            Sewing  (or Camping) | Best waterproof material for raincoats and sleeping bags
            you can mention it is the most affordable and durable in your hub summary. "Cheap" sounds like it will rip.
            
            Add an Amazon capsule to buy the material, and even if you only get a few hits a day, you may get some $$ from the Amazon sales.

               This could be the start of a group of how to hubs on making things with this material. I assume you made something with it since you looked so long for it. They can link back to this article on the material and that should give it a bit of a boast as well.

            Consider using words that you would use in a search, in your Summary and in the first paragraph of your article. 
            
            taslan, best waterproof fabric, water proof, breathable, by the yard, affordable, cheap, for outdoor cushions, to make shower curtains, raincoats, sleeping bags, cotton
            
            For instance a summary something like this:
            Taslan, is a waterproof, breathable fabric that can be purchased by the yard and used to make outdoor cushions, raincoats, sleeping bags. I recommend this affordable type of water proof cotton fabric.

               Good ideas! But you also want to entice them into clicking on the link. Don't make them search for taslan before clicking on your hub.  Say something about how you tested this miracle fabric and it beat every other waterproof by a yard or mile.

   Interesting hub.  I guess it hasn't been getting a lot of traffic is because most people just buy their items pre-made.  Sewing is becoming a lost art.   I sew though and have never heard of that type of fabric before.. and I am almost certain that the fabric store near me doesn't have any..at any given time they only carry one or two bolts of silk. 
   I agree with the other people that say change up your title a bit.

   Sewing has seemed to have its ups and downs, however cos play has become a pretty big thing and the majority of cos players actually make thier own outfits, a different one for each event because they become a different character at each event - if you become familiar with cos players you may could write a hub for your material specific for them- that group does alot of internteting and reading

   Personally I would use the name of the subject matter in the title example:
   Nylon Taslan ~ Best Waterproof Fabric
   
   Start out the story with the name again:
   I highly recommend Nylon Taslan for Sewing (or Camping) Best Waterproof Fabric for Making Raincoats and Sleeping Bags.
   
   Or something in that order...

   As Cardisa says, "People Google questions, not answers." Create a title which matches the question people are Googling then provide the answer in the hub.
