Excerpt from Family Economics Review: Highlights, Winter 1977
A price increase for rayon also is anticipated because of increased demand for rayon by mills seeking to replace relatively expensive cotton with cheaper rayon staple. Prices for acrylic staple, which increased in recent months, may continue to do so for the remainder of 1976. Acrylic simulates the natural-fiber look of wool and is benefiting from the strong market for sweaters. According to fiber producers, the above price increases of polyester staple, rayon, and acrylic are necessary in view of increasing costs of raw materials and production.
