Woah! "Alien"! I can picture you as a baby Dreadbelly bursting out of someone's chest (with the dreadlocks and a ravenous appetite for habeneros). I thought most acrylics are blends of rayon and cotton or some other combination. Are you dissolving pure synthetic fibres? If so, that's pretty durned impressive.

Sucks that you're eating through your kilts though. I'm sure you and your doctor will figure it out.
