What is Knitter’s Block?
Interlocking System for Blocking Handknits
The Knitter’s Block is a set of 12” square blocking tiles that snap together like pieces of a puzzle. The Original Knitter's Block kit contains 9 tiles, the Large kit contains 18 tiles.
Both kits also include an instruction pamphlet, T-pins (20 in the Original, 30 in the Large kit), and a 32" × 36" lint-free pressing cloth made of 100% Egyptian cotton, all packed in a sturdy, reusable bag.
What makes Knitter’s Block special?
- Very low, lightly barbed pile
- fabric covering gently grips your knitting without pilling or leaving fibers
- Heat resistant
- essential for steam blocking
- Thick backing of waterproof EVA
- suitable for use on any surface since moisture won’t seep through
- Because the tiles don't absorb water, blocked items will dry faster than with towels and cloths
- holds pins firmly in place
- Versatile
- can be assembled in a variety of sizes from a square for sweater pieces, a long rectangle for scarves or a triangle for shawls
- Compact
- blocks are stored in a sturdy 14”x14” bag
