I like all natural fibres if the intended use warrants it.For example I would never knit for a baby in wool, because you are forever washing it.I'd use acrylic because it can take the washing punishment, and not many new moms have the time to hand wash/lay flat to dry.I know I didn't.I appreciated wash and wear.I know a lot of natural fibres come in 'superwash' but you still have treat them with more care.

It depends on what weave, but personally I like more cotton for summer clothes and wool or acrylic for winter clothes. But I think that goes in how each one weaves and the things that he likes to do

I like to use wool or a mix of wool and another natural fibre. I never use acrylic and I don't enjoy knitting with cotton or ramie. You can get superwash wool to use for babies. Acrylic is not nearly as good a fibre for insulation.
