Following this. I am softening an acrylic cot blanket for a 5 month old baby. But jeez its a heavy blanket when I’m trying to rinse it all out 😂. About 20 minutes away from rinsing out the conditioner and putting it in for a delicate wash in the machine.
Thank you for the tips, I've just brought a great looking cricket jumper & was starting to worry about the acrylic itching like a b'stard. Great video.
How long did it take to dry. Lil ol procrastinator me barely finished a baby blanket that I want to make soft to give as a gift TOMORROW 😱 thanks for the tutorial
I’ve noticed that when I crochet squares (not granny squares just regular squares using the chain and single crochet) they end up being a bit stiff. Would this method work to make them loosen up or do you know how to loosen it up? I’d really like to not have to start all over since I made so many already 😅
Wool is one of the more fragile fibers, any heat or friction will ruin it so I recommend washing by hand in cold water with just some conditioner! Wool won’t change much with that but the acrylic /cotton should absorb it. No washing machine- air dry! And wool loves blocking so do that if you can.
I have a multi-colored sweater that’s 70% acrylic and 30% wool but I would like it to be a lighter color overall, what could I use to do this? I read that bleach will melt the wool
Ok, so I have 8 acrylic balls in the exact colour I need, I cant find it in wool. I have tried to crochet with it, but it squeak’s, and is hard and unyeilding, so I am going to do this to the balls before I use them… wish me luck….
@@ajr7591 Sorry I'm late, but my cardigan actually don't feel itchy anymore when I try it, but unfortunately it only softened just a little bit as I did not properly follow the procedure as I gotten clumsy in it. so I might do it again. but it definitely works.
Hi just bought a scarf and w hats online all are acyrlic yarn but it had like a musty smell, the seller lives in a smoke free pet free home.Buy I had allergic reaction I've done cold hand wash with detergent and fabric conditioner im hoping I can wear it but have feeling I may need to put in washing machine.Im allergic to wool but don't understand what went wrong with her acyrlic yarn.
So everytime you wash a Knitted/Crocheted project using whatever yarn, you need to block the garmet? I've never blocked before and I'm geniunely curious how this is done
I washed an acrylic top in warm instead of cold n it shrank a little as well as seized up and scratchy). Do I need to do tbis everytime I wash it to relax the fibers ?

I found that you don’t really need to block acrylic yarn products, laying it flat to dry is just fine
the edges of this scarf just kept curling in so I did it as a precaution
was wondering how long this effect lasts? after a few washings will I need to do this again?.. great video! thanks.

Did it work?
I was wondering. Instead of using shampoo and conditioner, could I use liquid Downey fabric softener in cold water in the sink?
Thank you
Softener works so much better than this conditioner method.
Does this method have to be repeated after you soften it the first time?

how.did it turn out?
Im wondering : if u soften & block a scarf or a blanket that u later give someone as a gift - do they need to block it after every wash also?
If it’s all acrylic yarn, then just laying out flat to dry should be sufficient.

Thnx for video. Can i do this with half acrilic amd half wool yarn? Plus cotton? I have mixed yarns project and need help. Thanks

this has always been my problem with acrylic 😭 I'm making a blanket with it now and powering through the squeaking
would this make a cardigan not itchy?
I’m wondering that too, I’m almost done crocheting one. Did you try this?

Great video!
Will this remove frizz
Could this work with polyester
Do you have any tips on how to stretch out a 100% acrylic sweater👀
Would cheap fabric softener work too?
Thank you for this ❤
Can this be done on an acrylic wool blend?
Beautiful, great idea!

Does this work with a mix, mine has 15% wool in it too
Thank you
Thank you
Do you have a pattern available for that scarf?
just made a little baby hat i will be trying this! i hope it makes it soft ^^
Thankyou
What if you dont have a washing machine
no problem, you can wash it gently by hand being careful not to wring the garment too aggressively and rinse well!

such a bautiful girl you are
So much water to soften and wash only 1 acrylic item! Sadly, water is not endless on our continent and in the world. Thanks!
Genuine question: do you have any tips?? I would like to save water if possible but I also need to soften my pieces
@@destineyclark5551 For the moment I see no alternative. But I guess doing it in a modern washing machine, we use less water. Thanks!
