fromWOOD Blocking Board in Wood 89 holes 35x35x1.5cm

A blocking board is an indispensable tool if you knit or crochet and want to make sure your projects stay within the knitting gauge. This board is ideal if you are making blankets that consist of smaller squares, triangles, rhombuses, stars or similar. It ensures that your shapes fit together and that the final result is even and smooth.

What is a blocking board?

A blocking board is a sheet of wood with holes drilled into it, carefully positioned and specifically spaced across a sheet - in this case 89 holes in a 35x35x1.5cm sheet. In the holes you can insert dowels that fit through holes and openings in your knitted or crocheted figures.

Made from wood, this fromWOOD board looks both beautiful today and will only get more beautiful with time as it takes on more patina. It works really well for all kinds of yarn and is designed to block a wide variety of shapes in appropriate sizes and shapes.

How do you use a fromWOOD blocking board?

When knitting or crocheting, a strike strength is usually given in the pattern. In the vast majority of cases, it will tell you how tightly or loosely you need to work to achieve the correct measurements when you have finished the project.

With this tool, you can both block your knitting and crochet samples, but you can also use it to stretch your squares or other shapes to the right size. It's done quickly and easily like this:

• Moisten the knitted or crocheted piece with a spray or steam from an iron
• Attach it to the board with the sticks that give it the right shape
• Let it dry overnight or until it is completely dry
• If you need to block several pieces at once, stack them on top of each other - but remember to moisten them individually before putting them on the board

Once the pieces are dry, you have achieved the right shape and can now sew or crochet them together for a smooth and even result, with any patterns and textures appearing nice and clear.
