Advantages of Scarf Knitting with Acrylic Yarn
#1 – Range of Colors
As Acrylic yarn is a man-made fibre, it can easily be made to various specifications, including its colour, providing practically endless options. With modern technology, acrylics are colour-fast and are not prone to running.
#2 – Cheap
Acrylic yarn is mass produced in large quantities quite easily, so generally, it is one of the cheapest yarns to buy. As such, Acrylic yarn is often used in clothing as it is much cheaper than cashmere and alpaca wool.
#3 – Easy to Clean
It is much less sensitive than natural wool or cashmere to detergent and warm water, meaning it can handle a standard round in the washing machine without shrinking or shedding. As such it is excellent for items that require ease of cleaning, such as scarves, hats, & gloves
#4 – Durable
Acrylic fibres are very durable, making them excellent for any projects that require an enduring yarn. As a petroleum-based product, it will take many years for it to degrade.
#5 – Warm
Acrylic yarn is warm. It may not have the warmth of alpaca or sheep wool, but it will still keep you cosy on a cold winter’s day maintaining the soft feel of the latter
Conclusion
Acrylic knitting scarf yarn is light, soft and cheap – with the most modern yarns sometimes mistaken for wool. It, of course, comes down to personal preference, but in my opinion, acrylic yarn has its applications and shouldn’t be overlooked.
There are many Big brands who make use of acrylic knitting yarns for scarf making.
