acrylic is the default in men's knitwear at most price points, and it is a plastic that pills, holds odor and does not breathe. these sweaters are wool, merino, cashmere, alpaca and organic cotton, scored on their real composition, which is the only way to tell a wool-blend sweater that is mostly wool from one that is mostly acrylic.
Read the composition label, because they look nearly identical on a rack. Wool feels cooler and slightly heavier in the hand, and springs back when compressed. Acrylic feels warmer and squeakier. The label is the reliable test, which is why Toxome scores on it.
It depends entirely on the percentage, which is the point. A 90% wool blend behaves like wool; a 30% wool, 70% acrylic blend behaves like plastic and is still legally sold as a wool-blend sweater. The score is calculated on the actual split.
Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label, not our opinion of it.
