Lace blocking wires are essential to creating shawls, stoles, and scarves that show off all of the delicate details of lace. Simply slip the wire through the edges of your lace project and place pins along the inside of the wires to hold them in place while the lace dries. The result is a lacey fabric that lays flat and displays the stitch patterns in detail. If you have scalloped edges you will want to slip the wire through the outer edges of your scallops to emphasize them. Follow the same rules as pin or string blocking by measuring the radius of your finished piece as you adjust the wires. Set comes with 15 (32 1/2" long) straight wires (est. 15 gauge), 20 nickel-plated T-pins and blocking instructions. All wires are stainless steel and rust proof. The first time you use your blocking wires, wipe them with a soft cloth to remove manufacturing residue.
