WT3172 runs on 90% acrylic, 10% wool, which gives the piece a dry, springy hand that holds a knitted stitch without sagging.
Acrylic leads the blend at 90% and keeps its shape after repeated wear, resists moths and takes bright dye well.
The remaining 10% is carried by wool, which insulates at low weight, recovers from creasing and regulates moisture.
In AW the garment is bought for warmth and for how it looks under store lighting, and the yarn decides both.
Acrylic keeps its shape after repeated wear, resists moths and takes bright dye well. The workhorse fibre for volume knitwear programmes, because landed cost stays predictable across a season.
Wool insulates at low weight, recovers from creasing and regulates moisture. The fibre buyers ask for when the retail price point has to read as quality.
The content for WT3172 is published as 90%ACRYLIC,10%WOOL, so you can price the yarn and write the care label before you sample.
AW gives a little more calendar room than SS, and the sensible use of it is a proper wash test rather than an extra colour.
Everything marked TBC is genuinely not stated in the factory catalogue for WT3172. It is listed here so you know precisely what to ask before sampling instead of assuming a value.

| Fibre | Hand and behaviour | Care |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic | A dry, springy hand that holds a knitted stitch without sagging | Machine washable at low temperature and quick to dry |
| Wool | A warm, resilient hand with natural crimp | Needs a wool cycle or dry cleaning unless the yarn is treated |

The third row is an alternative fibre shown for comparison only. WT3172 is published in 90%ACRYLIC,10%WOOL and nothing else, so a different quality would be a development with its own sample and its own wash test.
