Product Information

With WooLove you benefit from a two-colored grid system that lets you achieve straight, precise edges every time. First of all, consider the length. It is best to get a mat with a square shape and a length that can accommodate small items like crochets. Usually, knitters go for 12 by 12 inch boards as these are large enough for small knits. Usually, if there are no grid lines, you have to use a tape measure, which is too much work. To keep things easy, get a mat with vivid grid lines. What’s in The Set?

Thanks to its high-grade, heat-resistant material, this mat allows you to steam in peace without any worries about your project getting ruined. Anyway, onwards – at terrifyingly high speed – towards Christmas. Terrifying at least for those of us who aren’t good at getting prepared ahead of time. I realize that some of you are super-organized, because interest in my knitted and crocheted Christmas tree patterns goes up from about September, but here at Twisted Towers, we’re only just facing the fact that the big day really is coming, whether we’re ready or not – which makes it sound a bit like a game of hide-and-seek, only with more pine needles embedded in the carpet… and twins who may yet spontaneously combust through sheer excitement. A large set fitting together like puzzle pieces are sure to suit any knitting project, regardless of size. Knitters Pride is known as KnitPro outside of North America. Great affordability and quality of materials. The mats have grid lines on them, and what I like particularly is that the lines are visible and they don’t fade. And of course, the lines allow you to pin your fabric correctly without any uneven stretches.

There`s a new blog post at thetwistedyarn.com (or see link in bio). It`s a little different from normal, as it pays tribute to my recently deceased aunt. But don`t worry, normal yarny shenanigans will resume next post.

This method is recommended for synthetic fibers, wool and animal fibers, and some novelty yarns. It’s not recommended for fabrics knitted with cotton or delicate yarns that may lose their shape when wet. These materials are also adequately durable. They can withstand months or years of use and they are also a bit self-healing.

The most amazing thing is that they go for almost half the price of other boards with the same specs without compromising on the quality. Yet, even with all the above awesome properties, the foam is superbly lightweight, easy to store, and straightforward to handle. Grid system Woolove mats are slightly bigger than the standard mats on the market, with this piece measuring 12.6 by 12.6 inches. What we liked: The mats have an excellent quality build and are large enough to accommodate large knit works and other projects. The 100-T-pins included are also a huge plus. If you want to work on large pieces of fabric, you want boards that can snap together and create a big working area. You will find these boards quite useful because they snap together with ease.

For users like me who are fond of thinner mats you’ll love this set because no matter how hard you push the T-Pin, they don’t go through and leave what is underneath unscathed. The mats have clear grid markings that enable you to align the sides of your project neatly and accurately. They are made with ultra-lightweight yet robust foam that is easy to handle. At the same time, however, it ensures you create professional-looking needlepoint work and crochet. Features and Benefits Foam construction You’ll love the way the grid lines up regardless of how you put them together. For instance, if you buy more than one set the lines line up correctly, and this applies to any set so it’s possible to create a giant grid that is as big as the space available to you. Adjustable puzzle tabs Dip the piece in the water and make sure it is completely wet. Don’t do any kneading or rubbing as that can damage the fibers especially if they are natural.

Other than that, the Hephaestus mat’s quality is quite impressive, especially for the cost, and the foam is odorless and offers just the right amount of firmness. Grid system The amount and distribution of the stretch you will apply depends on the kind of pattern you want to achieve. Common patterns include lace, cable knit, and plain knit. What we liked: The easy to use and high-precision grid system of these mats is to die for. The kit is also one of the best on the market for drying knits.

Gosh, you are a lovely lot. Would you like an update on Mary’s blanket? If you search deep amongst the comments on the last post, you’ll notice a long and heart-warming response by one Mary Megarry. Executive summary: I THINK SHE LIKES THE BLANKET! Phew. I just hope it brings her a little comfort as she goes through the long process of recuperation. I wouldnt buy these again.They are more fragile than I expected and the 'appendages ' could easily break off if not careful.For me ,a waste of money. The grid system on them surely makes the task of aligning yarns easy. Even though the squares are not uniformly sized, a beginner might agree that they are not totally useless. Besides, they are visible. You want a material that your pins can easily go into. For that purpose, foam and rubber are preferred. These are soft enough to pierce without a struggle.Once the yarn feels moist and relaxed, remove the protective cloth and position the garment according to your knitting pattern. Follow the pinning instructions above to fix it in your desired size and shape. 4. Leave to Dry You’ll be impressed by the quality of the foam, particularly the self-healing feature that seals the needle poke holes over time.
