fromWOOD Blocking Board Wood 16 holes 25x25x1.5cm

A blocking board is an indispensable tool if you knit or crochet and want to make sure that your projects follow the gauge. This board is ideal if you are 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 drilled holes, the position of which is carefully calculated and specifically distributed across a board - in this case 16 holes in a board measuring 24x24x1.5 cm. In the holes, you can insert supplied dowels that fit through holes and openings in your knitted or crocheted figures.

This fromWOOD board is made of wood and therefore looks beautiful today and will only get more beautiful over time as it gets more patina. It works well with 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, there is usually a gauge given in the pattern. In most cases, this 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 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 quick and easy to do this:

Moisten the knitted or crocheted piece with an atomizer 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
Stack several pieces on top of each other if you need to block several at once - but remember to moisten 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 where any patterns and textures appear nice and clear.
