Review on 🧵 KUNWU SUS304 Stainless Steel Knit & Lace Blocking Wires - Ideal for General Use (1/16" or 1.6mm - Set of 30 Pieces) by Heather Shaw

Don't make the mistake some people make and buy plain steel blocking wire! Rust will ruin your day! Avoid aluminum, bronze, or brass wire. The Kunwu locking bar is made of 304 stainless steel, a good practical grade of stainless steel. The packaging is generous - there is a lot of wire in the tube! The wire comes with blunt ends as advertised so there is no risk of injury and the poles are long! A note (not a minus, depending on usage) is that they are 1/16 inch thick. It's pretty thin and flexible. It's perfect for light knits and lace, but not at all great for blocking heavier items. I suppose you could try using multiple bars together to block a heavier object, but it won't be as stiff as a thicker bar. As there are quite a few sticks in the pack I won't hesitate to cut a few. in handy sizes for small parts. If you do the same, make sure you use wire cutters rated for tough wire and file or grind the ends so they're safe to manage. You get a clear recommendation from me. However, I'm only rating them four stars because there are a large number of skinny bars and having all the skinny bars is a bit limiting. A selection of different thickness bars in one package would be more helpful.
