It is very soft and light weighted and is very warm also. Acrylic yarn can also be made of cotton with the help of short staple or spun machine. Acrylic yarn is something that goes very well with colors and sometimes used as a cheaper option in comparison to wool. Some of the end cloths made from acrylic yarn are socks, sweaters, hat, scarves, gloves and home furnishing fibers like rugs and carpets.

Acrylic Yarn manufacturers produce it through different methods. With the help of technology, some of the methods that require complex steps now can be used easily. Polymerizing in solution being one of the widely used method for making Acrylic Yarn, has find many takers for it. Then it is directly feeded to the dope of spinning and then wet spinning is done.
