Yrangee Blocking Mats for Knitting & Crochet Project,Extra Thick Blocking Boards with Grids for Needlepoint or Crochet,9 Pack Knitting Mats with 150 T-Pins and Storage Bag

I really liked using these ~ very nice quality and quantity of items. I doubled up the mats for blocking a wonky needlepoint project, pushing the T-pins all the way down through the two layers. (It worked great!) Plenty of thick mats for a long scarf too and good quality pins. All in a handy carrying case. Great deal!

I like the double sided patter and that each has a number for easily assembling it. Self healing. Gender neutral, I am a male knitter and don’t want a pink or purple blocking pad. Comes with needles for holding/blocking your work. The case is also a plus as it doesn’t have the tacky clear plastic that will yellow and crack with age. Stores nicely in the closet. If you knit large shawls you will need two sets.

I ordered this to block a scarf that I was making at the time. There were plenty of pins to cover the scarf included and I didn't need to order any extra. The mats are thick and durable and my project came out great because of this. The only thing is that the handles for the carry case come not assembled. You have to tie the knots and tie them in, but they do not exactly fit with how the pieces of the boards fit in the bag. I would personally have liked a little more room in the carry case or to have the handle attached to the outside like a comforter bag.

I bought two sets of mats. Unfortunately I need to buy one more, blankets and afghans take up a large area. There is no odor and all the square lines line up-you just have to spin the square till you get it right. For those who said they did not receive the pins, check the side pouch on the case they stack into.

These are really nice and well packaged. They are thick and fit together easily. High quality. Nice soft carrying or storage case. Only downside is that one container, when laid out, will not hold an adult sweater easily unless you have the sleeves down the side of the body and not laid out in a "T". Maybe a small point since I'm new to knitting. But this would be good for drying any hand-washed sweater/garment. Comes with a packet of "T" pins (always nice to have) and packs away in the case which has a zipper closure.

This had everything I needed to block my projects and it comes in a nice fabric box. The squares feel nice quality and are easy to put together (I also liked the lines on them since it made it easier to make my project square). The pins worked well and I had no trouble with them. Overall it’s been great and would definitely recommend.

I use this for blocking my projects and it’s been great! Durable, breathable, and easy to assemble and pack away. Wish the kit was a bit bigger; more blocks & pins, etc. overall I’m very happy!

These blocking boards are great since they are interlocking they can be shaped any way you might need them for your project.
