No, acrylic will not feltYou must use animal fiber to feltSome blends will felt, but the majority of the content must be animal fiberTypically 85% wool content or higher (not superwash) will feltFelting is fun, you can pick up some basic merino wool for around 5 or 6 bucks at Michaels or your local yarn shop.
