Will acrylic paint on yarn make it stiff?
The short answer is a qualified yes.-If you put acrylic wall paint on a single strand of yarn (natural fiber or synthetic), the yarn will be encased in a paint that will make it more rigid, and the paint will crack if you bend the yarn.- If you put acrylic wall paint on knitted yarn (for example a sweater) the acrylic will sit on the surface and dry to a hard finish. When the yarn bends (in the washer or in use) the paint will crack and eventually start to flake off, although it will not all come off.- If you put acrylic craft or artists' paint on a single strand of yarn, you will get the same result as above.- If you put acrylic craft or artists' paint on knitted yarn, yo will also get the results above.*Note*- If your desire is to paint on a knitted piece and have the yarn stay flexible, there is a paint medium used for fabrics (you can find it at most craft stores) that will make the paint more flexible and adhere better.

I believe the spelling is skein. It is a package of yarn looped to make it easy to pull a yarn thread from the center of the skein and either use it or wrap it into a ball. This is how it is typically sold. However, there are some stores that sell yarn in balls.
