I'm just guessing based on other things that I have starched, but I think that all it would do is starch the individual fibers and make them stand out from one anotherDo you have some leftover yarn so you could run an experiment? I would also try wallpaper paste and see if that stiffens it up Usually the stiffening is done with cardboard inserts, or by weaving the yarn on plastic canvas.
Hi DeanaTry blocking your acrylic garmentMake sure you use a thick damp towel on the bottom, place the garment on top of there, another damp towel on the very topSet your iron to steam and place it over the top towel being careful not to place the iron directly on the towel at allJust steam is the key to not losing loft on the article being blockedRemove to towel and let the newly blocked item dry completely before moving on to the next area and repeating the above stepsBlocked items usually retain their shape but I prefer to dry them by laying them flat to avoid wearing the yarn out more than necessaryI have sweaters I knitted my daughter 26 years ago and they are like newNow my grandchildren use them! Happy hooking, Barb
i like to use corn starch for stiffeningin a bowl big enough for your project ,mix 1/2 c corn starch in cold water until dissolved then add boiling water from kettle and stir until liquid becomes clear place your item in liquid stir around with a wooden spoon then remove item to sink.,press out liquid either place object over a form of desired shape or lay flatit will dry stiffwhen i make doilies and for example want a hat shape i place it over a small bowli am a senior and i learned this from my grandmother and it has always worked well for me.
One thing you could use to starch yarn rather than thread is to use a 1:1 glue water mixtureIt will dry and the glue will be crystal clear and it will be stiffenedI used this method to starch wings that I crocheted for a christmas tree angel and the effect was even better than the sugar methodIf it doesn't turn out stiff enough then make another solution with a little more glue and a little less waterBest of luck to you!!
