Friendly Products - Blocking Wires (Mix Set: Sweater and Lace)

There are no flat areas near the end of the wires, either. Each wire is long and smooth and will treat your knits with the care they deserve.

Sets come packaged in an attractive, ½-inch acrylic storage tube, with a beautiful frosted finish. Our tubes and wires are custom-made in the United States to our specifications. We sand both ends of every tube before filling it with wire so that it is smooth, beautiful, and nick-free.

The Sets

• Lace weight sets. Our lace blocking wire sets are especially good for blocking your lace and other lightweight knitting and crochet projects. These sets come in tubes with blueprinting.
• Worsted weight sets. Our worsted weight sets have thicker stainless steel wires that stand up to the rigors of blocking heavier sweaters and shawls. These sets come in tubes with green printing.
• Mixed sets. Don't know which weight wires you'll need from one project to the next? Our mixed weight sets are what you need. They have the exact same wires as the lace and sweater sets. In fact, they have six of each weight wire. These sets come in tubes with dark purple printing.

Care

Wires need to be wiped with a soft cloth prior to first use to remove the minimal manufacturing residue.
