Each tile is topped with a very low, lightly barbed pile that gently grips your knitting without pilling it or shedding fibres, and lifts the fabric just enough for air to circulate underneath. Because the foam doesn't absorb water like towels do, blocked pieces dry noticeably faster — and the pile self-heals, shrugging off pin holes no matter how enthusiastically you block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe thick EVA backing is fully waterproof, so you can set the tiles up on the dining table, the spare bed or the carpet without moisture seeping through — and it holds T-pins firmly in place. The tiles are heat-resistant too, so wet, spray and steam blocking are all fair game. This was actually the very first tool Julie Weisenberger designed for Cocoknits, back in 2007 — she wanted a blocking kit that was endlessly versatile in use and compact in storage, and chose EVA foam as the most eco-friendly material for the job (non-PVC, BPA-free, formaldehyde-free and formamide-free).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you'll love this\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 interlocking tiles build whatever shape your project needs — square, rectangle or triangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow, lightly barbed pile grips your knitting gently without pilling or leaving fibres behind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof backing protects whatever surface you block on, and holds pins firmly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaster drying than towels — the tiles don't absorb water, and air flows under your knitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-resistant, so wet, spray and steam blocking are all fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40 stainless steel T-pins included — no rust marks on your precious knits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChecked measuring cloth with 1-inch squares for checking gauge and dimensions as you pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything packs away into a sturdy jute tote with handy end pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 tiles, each approx. 30 x 30cm (12 x 12in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal area approx. 180 x 90cm (72 x 36in) assembled as a rectangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40 stainless steel T-pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChecked measuring cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJute storage tote, approx. 36 x 36cm (14 x 14in), with two external pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiles: EVA foam — non-PVC, BPA-free, formaldehyde- and formamide-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Selected Yarns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60054188228992,"sku":null,"price":106.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7756\/9186\/files\/KNITTERSBLOCK_MAIN_VERT_NEW2021_WebCrop_1056x1232_da9db5bf-7f76-4cf2-8caf-c17865f28dc6.webp?v=1791283668","url":"https:\/\/purlescence.com\/products\/cocoknits-knitters-blocking-kit","provider":"Purlescence","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
