The Magic Wand of Blocking

Blocking is an essential but often overlooked step in knitting. Once a project is off the needles, blocking is like waving a magic wand over your knitting to bring it from good to great-yarn blooms to incredible softness, stitches smooth out to a uniform look, and lace stitches transform to a delicate beauty.

Blocking wires are easily used to make the straight lines in your knitting straight. Blocking puts the finishing touch on your hand knits, which is made a much simpler and faster experience when blocking wires (blocking pins) are used, not to mention that a lot fewer pins are required.

No-frills blocking wires are perfect for blocking your lace and worsted weight knitting and crochet projects. Each set contains 15~32 pieces different size stainless steel blocking wires, also known as dressing wires or blocking pins. Each wire is 36~40 inches long, and has nice smooth ends that won't snag your knits. There are no flat areas near the end of the wires, either. Each wire is long and smooth, and will treat your knits with the care they deserve. Sets come packaged in an attractive, PVC storage tube. Our tubes and wires are custom made in China to our specifications.

Since Blocking wires often uesed in wet blocking or steam blocking, stainless steel wires and pins are needed (if they are not stainless, they will rust and stain your garment). You will need a blocking mats with flat surface large enough where your knitting can be pinned out and left to dry. Hardwood floors don't work at all, but carpeting (when covered with clean, dry towels or sheets) and spare beds work just fine.
