Shedlock, Rocky doesn't make acryllic kilts. Only Polyviscose and wool (tweed and tartan).
Polyviscose has a pretty smooth hand and is somewhat light (12oz) but is very sturdy and has a vivid weave. I would buy another P/V.
Acryllic is an entirely different fabric. It has a hand similar to lighter wool but gets limpy very quickly, is prone to pilling, and is inflammable. The colours are nice but the cons outweight the pros and I will not buy another acryllic again.
Neither is really an accurate simulation of wool but if you aren't expecting that then you'll be okay.
