I tend to knit with alpaca and wool mostly but have found that there are many acrylics out there that aren't that bad actually! I knit my step mom an afghan out of Red Heart several years ago and it has held up better than a few of my sweaters knit out of expensive wool that are now pilly and look horrible. I think gone are the days of "squeaky" cheap acrylic. It has come a long way!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878485848836248128noreply@blogger.com
