New Blocking Equipment for Knitters

We all know the importance of properly finishing your handknits and the difference good tools can make in this often painstaking process. With this thought in mind we welcome  Knit Blockers by Knitter's Pride Lace Blocking Mats by Knitter's Pride and Lace Blocking Wire Kit by Knitter's Pride to our line of knitting accessories here at Halcyon Yarn.

Knit Blockers, an innovative new tool for knitters, makes blocking a breeze. Each package comes with two sizes of tough plastic blockers with built-in rust resistent stainless-steel pins. Package of 20 includes 8 pieces having 4 pins and 12 pieces having 8 pins. Each blocker can be easily inserted into and removed from blocking mats, speeding up the blocking process and creating more even tension. Larger pieces can be blocked by attaching string to the anchor holes in each blocker which can then be stretched and pinned to maintain tension. For more information you can visit Knitter’s Pride website and download a pdf on how to use Knit Blockers.

Lace Blocking Mats are fun, useful and priced right! The vivid colors will make you feel like a kid again. Each pack contains 9 colorful 11.8″ square blocking mats that fit together like a puzzle allowing you to customize the size and shape you need – all for only $24.99. Prefer a more conventional look? We recommend the popular Knitter's Block Kit by Coco Knits. The kit includes 9 – 12″ square blocking tiles, 30 t-pins, a 32″ X 36″ pressing cloth, and a reusable bag to store your blocking tiles.

The Lace Blocking Wire Kit is a set of 15 rust resistant stainless steel wires and 20 t-pins all conveniently packaged in a ridged plastic tube for easy storage. Simply slip the wire through the edges of your lace project and place t-pins along the inside of the wires to hold them in place while the lace dries.
