That is a world of difference! Would that steaming technique also work with tunisian crochet? Most of the panels that I have made are far too stiff. Also using acrylics.

I also made a scarf out of a tweed acrylic a few years ago and have yet to wear it due to the lack of drape. It does not flow at all and is extremely rigid.

It probably should work! But best to try it on a little example piece and see how your yarns react to the heat

The bigger one is steamed ^^ The heat slightly melts/relaxes the fibers
