- I saw the cutest outfit for our daughter yesterday, all made of acrylic
- fiber. (The outfit, not the daughter!) She has some skin trouble, diagnosed
- as Atopic Eczema (Atopii), and is often scratching her skin, saying "itchy
- itchy", especially in a warm bath.
-
- We were recommended to buy 100% cotton for her, but it seems to me that this
- Acrylic Fiber outfit is quite soft, and reasonably warm (good enough for a
- Los Angeles Christmas, which is where we'll be). I've heard that polyester
- is in fact less of an irritant than cotton, though not as comfortable.
- What about Acrylic?
