Premium and Ultra-Fine Blocking Wires

As you may or may not know, I am now selling my own sets of blocking wires in two weights. The premium wires are a very flexible wire that I find useful for blocking any knitted items, from sweaters to lace. The ultra-fine lace wires are designed specifically with lace in mind. The lightweight superelastic wire can bend and curve as you need it to for those scalloped edges and picot points. Here's a picture of my Hemlock Ring Doily on just 3 of my super-fine 36" wires and only about 25 pins... and it only took me about 25 minutes to block. Beat that!




What's different from all those other wires out there? It's the superelastic, non-corrosive properties of the wire that make this a completely different product. The wire has memory, and "wants" to be straight, so when you arch or curve it, it forms a beautiful smooth arc. A couple of pins will hold it in place, and hold the perfect resulting curve. Look at how I manipulated it for the doily:



These wires are now available in my etsy shop: www.inspinknity.etsy.com. I hope you'll check them out, and see what others have said about these wires in my feedback page. I am sure you'll love them if you give them a try!
