Acrylic fiber fabrics are also man-made textiles that are made from a synthetic polymer called acrylonitrile. Since acrylic fabric is one of the least breathable forms of textiles in the world, it is desired in heat-retention applications. Acrylic also has high stretchability and moisture wicking abilities.

 

Since acrylic fabric is designed to be similar to wool, it is used in many of the same applications as this highly popular natural fiber. For instance, apparel manufacturers make acrylic fiber into sweaters, mittens, gloves, pants, hoodies, and a variety of other types of cold-weather clothing. Additionally, acrylic is a popular material for carpeting, upholstery, rugs, and other traditionally wool-dominated homeware product categories. While acrylic is highly similar to wool in its natural state, it can be made to resemble other fabrics, such as cotton, depending on the spinning mechanism that is used.
