How To Soften Scratchy Yarn



Some brands of acrylic yarn (especially the more economic stuff), are not usually the softest yarns. However, acrylic yarn is great for many projects (especially blankets!)

Ever wonder if there is a way you can make that skein of scratchy yarn you picked up a little softer?

Well there is!

1. Remove all the labels from the yarn
2. Loosen up the skein.
3. Put in a lingerie bag and wash in cold water.
4. Once it is finished washing, toss the bag in the dryer on medium heat and dry!

Viola! Now you have softer yarn!
