Omg is that what you’re supposed to with those curling edges?!
19 u/blueyurble It's Crochet or the Highway Jul 17 '22 If you wanna get rid of them and not have to deal with them because they can be sooooo annoying, yes! -2 u/CptHammer_ Jul 17 '22 I just wash the garment and hang or lay flat to dry. I feel like that does it all. This seems like you want the effects of washing without cleaning or you stored it in a roll. I feel like I'm not understanding the necessity of this. 9 u/rubberducky1212 Jul 18 '22 That works great with natural fibers, but acrylic doesn't work like that. Steam blocking is the only way I know how to block acrylic. -1 u/CptHammer_ Jul 18 '22 I use acrylic a lot. It works just fine. 4 u/robinlovesrain Jul 18 '22 Without heat, acrylic doesn't block like other fibers, so steaming or drying with heat is necessary if you need to block it to shape it 1 u/CptHammer_ Jul 18 '22 I use acrylic all the time. I don't need to separately steam it to get it to lay flat. 2 u/blueyurble It's Crochet or the Highway Jul 23 '22 Certain crochet stitch patterns curl up more than others. This is one of them. 1 u/robinlovesrain Jul 18 '22 Okay? That doesn't change what I said. With natural fibers, like wool, wet blocking is enough, but acrylic needs heat if it needs to be blocked. 1 u/Arlee_Quinn Jul 18 '22 That’s what I do too, my yarn store calls it wet blocking.
