Review on Enhance Your Knitting Projects with the Take it Personally Knit & Lace Blocking Wires Kit by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Useful but rough ends need to be sanded first.

I wish I had had these locking wires the last time I locked my scarf. I know they will be helpful. The reason I gave this product 3 stars instead of 5 is because, as many other reviewers have said, there are burrs on the ends of these wires that result from being cut to length during the manufacturing process. As a result, I spent 45 minutes sanding down the burrs so the yarn doesn't get caught when I thread it through my knitwear. I then spent even more time (to ensure smooth threading) attaching a small protective bead to the tip of each wire: I dipped the end of the wire in clear nail polish and allowed most of the liquid to drip back into the bottle. and then hung them up. vertically (see picture) from the edge of my table from the clamp (2 in each clamp, a little apart so as not to touch each other), let dry, apply a second coat. Then repeat this process with the other end of each wire. MANUFACTURER: You get great reviews for this product just by adding a 2 second deburring sanding operation to the manufacturing process so every customer doesn't have to spend 45 minutes at home doing it. Almost every bad review has drastic consequences - WAKE UP and fix it!
