Blocking Mats for Knitting Premium Set - Extra Thick Blocking Boards with Grids, 150 Strong and Rustproof T-Pins in Artisan Tin, Quality Knitting Bag for Needlework or Crochet - Pack of 9

Really nice quality and handy to have it in one bag

Thick enough that the Tpins don't poke through. Good quality blocks and pins. Block grids do absolutely match up (as opposed to people who say they don't) I have 2 sets and both match, as one set or both sets together. I treated it like a puzzle. For each set I put the ones together that matched exactly and kept going till I had them all in a large square. Then I numbered the blocks, on the back with permanent marker, so that I didn't have to spend time matching them again. The carrying case was very much worth the extra cost for me, so I can take them with me or so they stay together on the shelf.

Did exactly what it needed to do. It was my first time blocking my knitting and the instructions were simple and set up was easy. Solid equipment. I was really pleased with the results. And I love the easy storage to keep everything from getting lost among my crafts. Didn’t notice any smell.

I love these blocking mats. They go together easily and fit to any design. I now have my third set so I can block knitted and crochet throws. The grid makes it easy to measure an item. When blocking a striped item you can see where a block is on one side your item and on the other side so that the strips are blocked straight. I love these mats as even when I spray blocked instead of wet blocked the water did not go through the mats. Love this item!

Exactly what I needed. Plenty of space for blocking. The pins that come with it are strong and durable. No rusting. I didn’t notice any strong smell. Very easy to use and thick material. The function of the material itself is very strong and everything stayed in place while blocking.

Works great but hard to align sections

This product exceeded my expectations for blocking a needlepoint canvas. It is thick enough to drive the pins in tightly in order to true the canvas. The graph lines and the ability to create the required size are a tremendous bonus. I would recommend to anyone who does small scale needlepoint projects such as pillows or footstools. Plus the storage case and ability to breakdown the mats is a great feature for limited storage spaces. I did see that several people commented on the smell. I put mine out in the sun for an afternoon and any lingering odors from manufacturing dissipated.

I love this product. The mat is thick enough that I don't have to worry about my pins poking through the other side. It firmly holds my project where I pinned it. And the canvas storage bag keeps my mats safe and clean. I chose the set of mats with the canvas bag instead of the one with the plastic bag because I have cats and if you have cats that should be enough said. Lol! The canvas is sturdy and I'm impressed with the quality. I think it is definitely going to be cat proof.

Stevige blockingmatten. Passen goed in elkaar en 9 blokken is meestal genoeg om een trui te blocken.

Ik heb de versie met canvas opbergtas genomen, en het is echt de moeite waard. Enorm handig, heel stevige stof met sterke ritsen, en het vakje met doosjevol T-pins is fantastisch! Alles van de tas tot de pinnen is van goede kwaliteit, stevig en netjes. De matten zijn veel dikker dan speelmatten en geven een goed egaal oppervlak, dat ook goed met het vocht omgaat als je gewassen/wet blocked werkjes wilt opspelden. En de rasterlijnen maken het veel makkelijker om je werk netjes recht te spelden. Al met al kan ik deze set alleen maar aanraden, in 1 aankoop alles dat je nodig hebt om te blocken! Ik verwacht niet dat ik hierna nog iets zal moeten vervangen of aanvullen.

Excellent, this was a repeat purchase

Good quality- thick and sturdy Pieces fit together well not only as prescribed but also can be made to whatever shape is required to suit the garment

Mit diesem Set haben ich kennengelernt, wie viel schöner Strickstücke sind, wenn man sie nach dem Fertigen spannt. Die Matten sind schön stabil und in der Tasche schön verpackt. Ausreichend Nadeln zum Spannen sind in einer schönen Dose dabei. Einzigen Manko ist die Tatsche, dass die Fläche, die mit den Daten ereichbar ist, selten für ein Strickstück ausreicht. Wenn man die Matten versetzt zusammenstecken könnte, würde es für einen Pullover reichen, so leider nicht. Ich habe mir ein Ergänzungsset gegönnt mit drei Matten, die leider nicht mit in die Tasche passen. Ich möchte das Spannset nicht mehr missen, ganz durchdacht ist es nicht.
