fromWOOD Blocking Board Wood 16 holes 25x25x1.5cm

A blocking board is an essential tool if you knit or crochet and want to make sure your projects stay true to gauge. This board is ideal if you're making rugs 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 wooden board with pre-drilled holes that are carefully calculated and specifically distributed across a board - in this case, 16 holes in a 24x24x1.5 cm board. In the holes, you can insert included dowels that fit through holes and openings in your knitted or crocheted shapes.

This fromWOOD board is made from wood and therefore looks beautiful today and will only get more beautiful over time as it gains more patina. It works great for all types of yarn and is designed to block a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

How do you use a fromWOOD blocking board?

When you knit or crochet, a knitting tension is usually given in the pattern. In most cases, it will tell you how tight or loose you need to work to achieve the right measurements when you finish the project.

With this tool, you can block your knitting and crochet swatches, but you can also use it to stretch your squares or other shapes to the right size. Here's how to do it quickly and easily:

Moisten the knitted or crocheted piece with an atomizer or steam from an iron
Pin it to the board with the pins that give it the right shape
Leave it to dry overnight or until it is completely dry
Stack several pieces on top of each other if you need to block several at once - but remember to moisten each piece individually before placing 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.
