Fabric Care Guide - Acrylic

Acrylic

Acrylic can be made into fuzzy knits, or made to look and feel like cotton. Acrylic is generally soft and warm and resists wrinkles and shrinkage, but can be sensitive to pilling. It can be used to make such things as sweaters, socks, fleece and throw blankets.

Cleaning Be sure to check the care label in the garment for washing instructions. Machine-wash in cool water on a gentle cycle or wash by hand. Do not wring the garment.

Drying Tumble dry on low heat settings while the dryer drum is cool or as recommended on the care label. Or, skip the dryer, reshape the garment and lay flat to dry.

Ironing Iron acrylic on a low setting.

Storage Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
