Acrylic Yarn Nm28/2 for Sweater Knitting Yarn

Acrylic is light weight, soft, and warm, with a wool-like feel. It can also be made to mimic other fibers, such as cotton, when spun on short staple equipment. Some acrylic is extruded in colored or pigmented form; other is extruded in "ecru", otherwise known as "natural," "raw white," or "undyed." Pigmented fiber has highest light-fastness. Its fibers are very resilient compared to both other synthetics and natural fibers. Some acrylic is used in clothing as a less expensive alternative to cashmere, due to the similar feeling of the materials. Some acrylic fabrics may fuzz or pill easily, though there are low-pilling variants. Acrylic takes color well, is washable, and is generally hypoallergenic. End-uses include socks, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters, home furnishing fabrics, and awnings.Acrylic can also be used to make fake fur and to make many different knitted clothes.

As acrylic is a synthetic fiber, the larvae of clothes moths are unable to digest it. However, acrylic fibers that are blended with wool or soiled may be eaten as a consequence of having blended fibers.

Acrylic is the "workhorse" hand-crafting fiber for crafters who knit or crochet; acrylic yarn may be perceived as "cheap" because it is typically priced lower than its natural-fiber counterparts, and because it lacks some of their properties, including softness and propensity to felt. The fiber requires heat to "relax" or set the shape of the finished garment, and it isn't as warm when wet as alternatives like wool. Some hand-knitters also complain that the fiber "squeaks" when knitted, or that it is painful to knit with because of a lack of "give" or stretch in the yarn. On the other hand, it is machine-washable and extremely color-fast. This makes it useful in certain items, like garments for babies, which require constant washing. However it is much more flammable than its natural fiber counterparts, so caution should be used when making items for babies and children.

Properties and uses of acrylic yarn:
Elasticity: Its elasticity is better, second only to polyester, and about 2 times higher than
nylon. Has better shape retention.
Strength: Although the strength of acrylic fiber is not as good as that of polyester and nylon,
it is 1 to 2.5 times higher than wool.
Heat resistance: The temperature of the fiber is 190-230C, second only to polyester among
synthetic fibers.
Lightfastness: The lightfastness of acrylic is the best of all synthetic fibers for one year of open air
exposure, with only a 20% drop in strength.

Acrylic fibers are resistant to acids, oxidants and general solvents, but not alkalis.
The finished product of acrylic fiber has good fluffiness, good warmth retention, soft hand feeling, good weather resistance,
mildew resistance and moth-proof performance.

Acrylic is about 15% more warm than wool. Acrylic fiber can be blended with wool, and the products are mostly used in civilian applications, such as wool, blankets, knitted sportswear, tarpaulins, curtains, artificial fur, plush and so on. Acrylic fiber is also the raw material of high-tech products - carbon fiber.
