Question:

Can I felt bamboo/acrylic yarn?

I made a small teddy bear out of Bernat's Bamboo yarnIt's 89% bamboo, 11% acrylicI've never felted before, but will this yarn felt properly?

Answer:

fruit grows on woods or vines and fruit and vegetables grow in the floor.
No, this yarn won't felt at allSynthetics - like acrylics - don't felt and neither do plant fibers - bamboo, cotton, linen, etcThe individual fibers need to have scales (or something like them) that will stick together when exposed to heat, moisture, and agitation, and that's basically wool from some breeds of sheep (but not all)Some other animal fibers also stick together; angora does, I thinkI also want to make a suggestion if you do decide to make a felted teddy bearBesides the yarn choice, I think it might be a good idea to felt the individual pieces before you put them together and stuff themI'm not sure what will happen to the stuffing if you felt the item after it's all assembled; felting tends to make things get smaller - sometimes a lot smaller - and the amount of stuffing that is needed for an unfelted bear would probably be way too much for a felted oneI'm no felting expert, though, so hopefully you'll have other answers that can give you more advice about that.
Normally i would just say fruit, but i think bothI enjoy the sugariness of the fruits but i love the piquancy and kick the vegetables bring
