How to Soften Yarn - Making Scratchy Yarn Soft
Some of our favorite yarns such as Red Heart Worsted Weight Yarn
can start off a bit scratchy and whether you want to soften the yarn before you crochet or knit with it or wait until your project is complete there are several online tutorials available on how to do this. But before you begin to wash your yarn in any type of detergent or shampoo be sure to read the instructions on the label for washing and care. It also may be a good idea to test a piece of your yarn with the laundry soap or shampoo you are using to wash it in.
Next loosen up the skein a bit and place in a lingerie bag
or a pillow case
(preferably a white one).
Wash the yarn in cold water with like colors.
Dry on low to medium heat.
Remove promptly and your yarn should be soft and fluffy.
You can also wash by hand if you prefer before or after you crochet or knit a project.
