Lazadas | Blocking Wires Kits

Blocking is like working magic on your knitting, transforming your lace from a mysterious crumple into an open spider weave of stitches, making your cables show up clearly, and helping you ensure the exact right shape and size of your project. But while it is magic, it can also be time taking, and a bit laborious. Make your blocking easier, more fun, and give better results with these fantastic Lazadas blocking wires!

These come in 4 sets: small, mixed, large, and deluxe.

Small sets are great if you do a lot of garments, small scarves and shawls, or childrens wear. Large sets are perfect for lots of shawls, especially large ones with a generous wing span. Mixed sets are in the middle, perfect if you do a lot of different types of knitting, and deluxe gives you all the options in one go, an excellent choice if you tend to block lots of things at once!

Why We Love Lazadas Blocking Wires

They are all super flexible and yet will snap back to a straight wire. Extremely versatile, they work well for straight edge, circular, half moon and even scalloped shapes. They are also suitable for blocking fine lace to chunky yarn projects. They won’t rust on your garment and they are hard enough for long durability. And these kits now come in a tin, perfect for storing your wires and tins compactly and even slipping into a project bag if you are travelling!

About Lazadas

Astrid Lapidus founded Lazadas because she couldn’t find knitting accessories that were pretty enough for her tastes. She describes herself as an “obsessive knitter with more UFO’s than a life time,” which is something many of us can identify with!
