Over a $133 value! Whether you're finishing a cozy sweater or a lovely lace shawl, blocking is the vital finishing step to creating polished, handcrafted creations.
The Knit Picks Deluxe Blocking Set brings together the main tools for blocking in one box: mats, blocking wires and T-pins. Blocking is the finishing step that evens out stitches and sets a piece to its final size, and these are the tools that do it well.
Blocking wires are the reason lace shawls look crisp. Threaded through the edge of a piece, a wire makes a long, straight line that would take dozens of pins on its own, and it lets you open up lace evenly.
It's a good investment for knitters and crocheters who make shawls, sweaters or lace and want a full kit rather than buying pieces one by one.
Soak the piece in lukewarm water with a little wool wash, press out the water in a towel and lay it on the mats. Thread the wires through the edges, then pin the wires to the mats, stretching to the measurements your pattern gives. Let it dry completely before you unpin. Our blocking guide explains wet and steam blocking.
Let mats dry before stacking them away. Keep pins and wires together so the wires stay straight and pins don't get lost.
