Is this acrylic or a blend?

According to what I’ve read, it’s 100% acrylic, but very thin, and had some issues with it unraveling.

How similar is this to the retired lion woolspun? i need to finish a woolspun blanket.

This is very thin and with a velour texture. It was used to crochet a small bumble bee. I'm not familiar with the other yarn.

Has anyone tried to use this yarn to make a Afghan? Does it work for that kind of project?

Yes it does. The yarn is soft and light. I myself am crocheting an Afghan with this yarn
