Acrylic is a synthetic fibre widely used in the manufacture of knitting yarns due to its strength, softness and ease of care. Unlike other fibres, acrylic can be used as the main component of the yarn (100%) or blended with cotton, wool or polyester. There are also improved qualities such as microacrylic, which is softer, and anti-pilling acrylic, which reduces the formation of bobbles.
