acrylic yarn
Fake wool strand
Acrylic yarn is yarn made from synthetic polymer fibers rather than natural materials like wool or cotton.
It's lightweight, durable, machine-washable, and significantly cheaper than natural fibers, making it popular for beginners and budget-conscious crafters.
Acrylic lacks the warmth and breathability of wool but holds color well and resists moths: I used acrylic yarn for the baby blanket since it's easy to wash.
