Our Fiber Dreams no-frills blocking wire sets are perfect for blocking your lace and worsted weight knitting and crochet projects. Each set contains twelve stainless steel blocking wires, also known as dressing wires or blocking pins. Each wire is approximately 3 feet long and has nice smooth ends that won’t snag your knits. 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. Shipping: Due to the length of the shipping box, shipping is quite expensive, so we are unable to offer free shipping on this item. Shipping is about $30 in the continental US. The Sets: Lace weight sets. Our lace blocking wire sets are especially good for blocking your lace and other light weight knitting and crochet projects. These sets come in tubes with blue 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. Use: Here's a mini tutorial on using wires to help block shawls and sweaters.
