I crochet baskets and other items from cotton thread and, when done, I starch them with a 1:1 sugar and water mixture which is boiled to dissolve the sugar then cooled and the item dipped in itI have made something for my grandson from acrylic knitting worsted and would like it to retain its shape but I don't know if I can use the same starching method to accomplish this.Anybody know?Thanks,Deana

The glue you would use is the kind that is white when still wet and dries clear and waterproofOften sold as wood glueIt can be used as thin as one part glue in ten part water for a little stiffening, or nearly glue only for heavy duty work, but I would test it in a 1 glue in 5 water solutionMake sure you test a little of the yarn in the glue, as the different man-made fibers react different on different glues.
