I was going to say the same thing as hugh_mannity. I like superwash wool a LOT.
Last time I said I would stay away from acrylics for a kitchen application, someone jumped all over me saying acrylic wasn't that bad. I personally find it extremely unpleasant touching my skin though and that it compresses into a near felt state when it's been warm and wet and weighted. But it's washable, comes in a bazillion colors, tends to be 4-ply or more so it's durable, and it's cheap. And I'd still spend the money to get the real stuff if it was for me.
