Knitter's Pride Knit Blockers are a great new way to block knitting projects! They're so easy to use, they'll really speed up the blocking process.  They substantially reduce the number of pins needed to block a project. Plus it allows the user to apply a more consistent tension while blocking a wide area. It saves time and provides a better, more consistent solution than using pins alone.  Knit Blockers also have the ability to serve as an anchor for attaching string to run within the stitch ends along the perimeter of the project. You may also use Knit Blockers with blocking wires. The Knit Blockers are made using strong plastic with sharp, sturdy & rust resistant stainless steel pins in two sizes in order to handle different shapes when blocking.  A Knit Blocker set consists of 20 units in a nice plastic storage case: twelve 8 pin Blockers and eight 4 pin blockers.
