Well I learned something new tonight: trilobal. Thanks for all the replies. So if a recipe calls for antron, it sounds like aunt lydia's (or equivalent) is an acceptable substitute. Do you need to unravel the aunt lydia's?
And poly fiber is different. Might aunt lydia's be an alright substitute or are they too different? Thanks again everybody!

I find it stiffer and not as bright as Antron. If Aunt Lidias is not Antron, it is real close. That is just my opinion.
