Acrylic yarns are no longer inferior to real wool. If you can not stand tickling, but still like the "wool look", you can opt for a synthetic thread. Acrylic is also soft and suitable for all your favourite crochet and knitting projects. How about a cool sweater or a dress? But... which ball will you choose?
On Yarnplaza.com you find a lot of synthetic yarns, but we have put the finest 100% acrylic yarns for you in one blog:
