Acrylic Yarn
Acrylic yarn is a synthetic fiber thread commonly used in sweater making. It is made from polyacrylonitrile fibers that have excellent elasticity and durability, making sweaters more stretchy and able to hold their shape. Acrylic yarn is also wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for, keeping sweaters looking good and comfortable for a long time. This yarn is suitable for a wide range of sweater styles, from lightweight to chunky, making it ideal for making high-quality sweaters.

The advantages of YM THREAD ‘s acrylic yarn
Acrylic yarn, also known as polyacrylonitrile fiber, is a man-made fiber that resembles wool in appearance, feel, elasticity, warmth, and other aspects, hence the name “synthetic wool”. The advantages of acrylic yarn are as follows：
- High color fastness: The dyeing property of acrylic yarn is good, and its fabrics are bright and fade-resistant.
- Good heat retention: Acrylic yarn has excellent heat retention, and its fabrics are soft and fluffy, making it suitable for making winter clothing.
- Strong light resistance: Acrylic yarn has excellent light resistance, and it is not easy to fade when exposed to the sun for a long time.
- High strength: Acrylic yarn has high strength and good wear resistance, making it difficult to tear.
- Good elasticity: Acrylic yarn has good elasticity and high rebound, making its fabrics less prone to deformation.
- Chemical corrosion resistance: Acrylic yarn has good resistance to acids, alkalis and other chemical substances.
- Soft and comfortable: The texture of acrylic yarn is soft and comfortable, making it suitable for making intimate apparel.
- Wide range of applications: Due to its excellent properties, acrylic yarn is widely used in clothing, home furnishing, decoration and other fields.
- In summary, acrylic yarn has the advantages of high color fastness, good heat retention, strong light resistance, high strength, good elasticity, chemical corrosion resistance, soft comfort, and wide applications.

What is acrylic yarn?
From a professional textile perspective, acrylic yarn is a fiber produced by copolymerization of acrylonitrile with a small amount of other monomers. It is often referred to as “synthetic wool” in the textile industry due to its similarity in appearance, feel, elasticity, and warmth to wool.
The advantages of acrylic yarn are significant. It has excellent lightfastness, maintaining its color even after prolonged exposure to sunlight. It also has good elasticity and high rebound, making it less prone to deformation. Additionally, acrylic yarn has excellent thermal insulation properties, making it particularly suitable for use in winter clothing. These characteristics give acrylic yarn a wide range of applications in the textile industry.
However, acrylic yarn also has some disadvantages, such as poor moisture absorption and a tendency to generate static electricity. Therefore, in practical applications, attention should be paid to these issues and appropriate measures should be taken to address them.
Overall, acrylic yarn, as a synthetic fiber, has an irreplaceable position in the textile industry. Its excellent properties and wide applications provide strong support for the diversification and functionality of textiles.
What is the difference between polyester yarn and acrylic yarn
1、Specific Gravity: The specific gravity of acrylic yarn is 1.14, while that of polyester yarn is 1.38. This means that for the same weight of yarn, the length of acrylic yarn will be longer.
2、Shape Retention: Acrylic yarn has relatively poor shape retention and is prone to deformation, while polyester yarn has good shape retention, resisting wrinkles and retaining a crisp appearance with better dimensional stability.
3、Ironing Temperature: The heat resistance of acrylic yarn is not as good as that of polyester yarn. The ironing temperature for acrylic yarn should be controlled below 140 degrees, while that for polyester yarn can be around 180 degrees.
4、Strength and Abrasion Resistance: Acrylic yarn has good strength and abrasion resistance, with strong elastic recovery ability, better dyeability or moisture absorption compared to polyester yarn.
5、Hand Feel: Acrylic yarn has a smooth hand feel with a high gloss, while the hand feel of polyester yarn is relatively poor.
6、Applications: Polyester yarn is widely used in clothing, home furnishing, decoration and other fields due to its excellent properties such as high strength, impact resistance, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, moth resistance and acid resistance but not alkali resistance. Acrylic yarn is often used in the production of sweaters, knitted goods and other items due to its soft and fluffy texture and bright colors.
In summary, acrylic yarn and polyester yarn have their own unique characteristics, and the choice depends mainly on specific needs.
