Review on ๐Ÿงถ Complete Wet and Steam Blocking Kit: Extra Thick Blocking Mats with Grids, 100 T Pins, and Storage Bag by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product but buy your own locking pins.

I was very impressed with this blocking mat set. Love the fact that it comes in a collapsible case for easy storage and the mats are thick enough for the T-Pens. I found the lines lined up pretty well for a foam pad, and the bright blue and red lines are easy to see even in low light. PLEASE NOTE: You must purchase your own stainless pins. The included pins are NOT rust resistant. Luckily I bought some Knitter's Pride blocking pins with this blocking mat set, but I really wanted to try the pins to see if they were any good. The pens included in this set showed the beginning of oxidation after 4 hours in wet wool. Do yourself a favor and buy your own stainless steel needles. showed the onset of oxidation after 4 hours in wet wool.

Pros
  • EXCELLENT THICKNESS COMBINED WITH EXCELLENT DURABILITY. Stop fighting fragile, uncomfortable blocking mats! We build our extra thick, heat resistant breadboards to be strong enough to hold together on any project. The extra thick, dense foam makes them incredibly light and durable, allowing you to easily splice them into a variety of shapes and sizes!
Cons
  • Socket required
