Grey wool hat

Polyacrylic is a blended yarn (of acrylic and wool).


Wool is the name given to a group of natural textile fabrics made from the hair coat of various animals. Wool fabric has been and remains one of the most expensive materials, with exceptional properties: it practically doesn't wrinkle, barely gets soiled, absorbs moisture well, is very durable and long-lasting, retains heat excellently, and doesn't cause allergies.




Acrylic is derived from petroleum hydrocarbons. A soft, lightweight fabric that resembles wool in appearance and to the touch, which is why it is rightfully called "artificial wool". This resemblance isn't only external: the fiber is very voluminous and fluffy, and able to trap a great deal of air, which allows garments made from it to retain heat to the fullest. Acrylic items require no special care — like all synthetic fabrics, they are simple to use.

Characteristics
- lightness;
- durability;
- increased wear resistance;
- retains heat well (comparable to the thermal conductivity of wool);
- low hygroscopicity — a high level of water repellency;
- good resistance to weather conditions and to prolonged overheating of 120-130 degrees.

Care
1. Best washed at a temperature below 40°;
2. Hand washing or a delicate hand-wash cycle is recommended;
3. Avoid using bleach or active detergents with an aggressive composition;
4. Do not dry near heating appliances or in direct sunlight;
5. Ironing/steaming at a low temperature is acceptable;
6. Detergents containing lanolin are recommended.
