How much should you pay for things made with ACRILAN
People often ask us this. And there’s no cut and dry answer. You see, Acrilan is a fibre (not a material, or a 'make' of anything). Before it ends up as something you can buy, it has to, be made into materials, and these materials have to be made into finished articles, clothes, carpets and blankets.
So of course the price of these things varies. Varies according to whether Acrilan is used alone (and in what weight) or, if it is mixed with other fibres, according to the quantity and quality of these fibres. And varies again with the craftsmanship and 'extras' (trimmings, linings, buttons and so on) of the manufacturers who make up these materials.
Not that there's anything new about this. Prices have always varied for things made from traditional materials, too. So our advice is simply to shop as you have always done. Go to a shop you trust. Look for the makers' names you know. And see your money buy more value when you choose things made with Acrilan.

Children’s Corner 
THE ‘PRETTY COLOURS’ COLOURING COMPETITION
BINGO, the dwarf, had some lovely big jars of paint. Each jar held a beautiful colour.
"If I mix them." he thought. "I shall have more colours!"
So he poured some on the ground and mixed two of the colours together.
I wonder what colours he chose? Red and blue make purple, and yellow and blue make green.
Colour the paint for yourselves. children, and see what happens!
