I have heard acrylic acts like wool and you would still have a wearable kilt when you are done. Good luck.
I have three lots of woollen fabric and I'm waiting for the XMTS run of PV to be sent out. I could wait for the PV, but I'm not a novice at sewing and as far as I can see the only difficult bit about making a kilt is drawing the curves, so I've gone ahead anyway.
We'll see if my confidence is warranted or not in a few weeks time
