Okay. First, I'm sorry to have to say it, but there is no such thing as "acrylic wool" any more than there is such a thing as plastic sheep from which to shear it. "Acrylic wool" is a contradiction in terms that's used, I'm told, mostly by the cheapie quickie mass production kilt factories in Pakistan.
That does not necessarily mean that you've been gypped. There are some kilts made there which are really not bad quality for the price paid.
So... I would guess that the material is acrylic woven to look like wool, and now I've reached the end of my limited expertise. I think we may hear back from Steve shortly, and he'll have some better hints about the origins and care of kilts made from material that is labelled this misleading way.
I don't think you're out of luck yet, just not in possession of what you may have thought you had.
Cheers!
