Knitwear, do you buy acrylic?

As it's getting nippy now, I'll be on the hunt soon for some jumpers, nothing fancy. Most of the knitwear I see is either 100% acrylic or a high % of it and in my experience, acrylic never lasts, it always goes bobbly, even after one wash.

There's quite a few jumpers/cardigans that I've seen before in New Look, Sainsbury's and Matalan, but the acrylic content puts me off buying!

SpongeBobJudgeyPants - that's me too! I'm always looking at the label checking the material content, I've been avoiding 100% acrylic for years, but there's just not much choice for cotton/cotton blend within budget. Saw a lovely cardi in sainsburys but it's 100% acrylic (& 25% off too atm!!!) argh!
