Blocking Mats for Knitting - KnitIQ Extra Thick Blocking Boards for Crochet Projects with Gridlines - 100 T-Pins and Storage Bag Included for Knitting Supplies - Standard Mat Set - Pack of 9

Great blocking mats. I've had these for over two years now and still work great. The lines have not faded for measurements and they connect well. Durable and easy to use. Highly recommend!

Years ago I had the KnitPicks brand blocking mats and have moved several times since then and have lost that set. I ordered these hoping they would be a decent replacement. These are amazing! I love the grid pattern, it really helps me keep my blankets and order projects 'square' and to the correct sizes. The KnitPicks ones I had from years ago didn't have that. Also, these were much thicker and felt sturdier. I loved my KnitPicks ones I had years ago but these ones are giving them a run for their money - at least from me! I love them so much that I actually ordered a second set so I have plenty for my larger projects too!! I have read some reviews where people had issues with the blue coloring from the grid pattern bleeding onto their projects, but I haven't had that issue. I primarily do steam blocking. If I have any issues with this in the future I will update my review as necessary. Also - they come with a box of t-pins! I'm sure that's mentioned in the product description somewhere but it was a nice little surprise. Most of the other blocking mats require you to order those extra. I'm very satisfied with these and would definitely order these again and again if I need more!!

Excellent quality with quick delivery. Used it to block a needlepoint canvas, worked well.

I’m fairly new to the crocheting world, and I knew eventually I would run into the issue that I would have to block my work. I had finished 3 projects (a small bag for my crochet hooks, needles, scissors, and yarn, a blanket, and an afghan) that didn’t need to be blocked. And then I started doing granny squares and realized it wasn’t going to be as easy as the other things I had completed. I did not have any idea how I was going to block them because I did not have the right equipment, per se. Well I put my thinking cap on and did the best that I could do at the time. I improvised and it worked, sorta. Anyway, I started on another afghan and the yarn I used was not laying the same way my other projects did so I decided I was NOT going to go through what I went through the last time. So, the hunt was on! I looked at all the mats I could find and I kept coming back to these. I read the reviews and decided to give these a try, even though some reviews stated the lines didn’t line up. I am SO glad I bought these! The afghan I made is long, like most afghans, so I needed several sets of these. I bought 4 sets, I only needed 2 mats from the fourth set but hey, I would rather have too many than not enough. Each mat is approximately 12 x 12 and they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. They come with 100 pins, I counted them, and the case has a handle for easy carrying. Storing them is a breeze! Now some people were saying the lines didn’t match up when they connected them. I ran into the same problem. But, each mat has 4 sides so I just turned the mat. By doing that, problem solved! My lines are now straight! If you are looking for mats for blocking your work, look no further! These mats are thick. They are sturdy. They are SO easy to use. And they do the job beautifully! Thanks guys for making a wonderful product. And if I need more, there is NO doubt in my mind I will buy more!

This product is everything as described. They are thick and the best quality of blocking mats I've seen. However, there were some issues. I bought two sets of the double-sided mats. I didn't open the bags until I was ready to start blocking the shawl I'd made. All but one of the mats were a dingy color. There was a small stin on the corner of one mat. I was able to remove most of it. My biggest mistake was thinking that this set of blocking mats would work with the mats with the radial lines. The double-sided mats have larger interlocking segments that do not align with the radial mats. So I didn't really have enough mats to block my shawl properly. I'm making it work. Overall, good value but disappointed that the sets can't be used together for larger projects. There aren't enough mats in the set to block anything larger than a shirt or sweater.

I live in an apartment so space for storing a blocking board is limited. With these I can put the tiles together, block my sweater and shove it under the bed while it dries, then take the tiles apart and store them in the case. And the pins go in much more easily than in the old blocking boards. Super handy!

Great mats. They are, however, a bit expensive and the plastic case for the t-pins came scattered. I wouldn't say that nine mats are enough even for small sized garments. I'm a size xs-s and cannot block and pin a long sleeved sweater on only nine mats. I caved and bought a second set of nine mats and can now block both sweaters and quite sizable shawls. If i hadn't already bought the first set I would honestly be hesitant if I knew that I would need two of them. Already having bought my first set I was already "committed" to the brand and would not buy a second set with the risk that they would not fit with the first set.

Für meine Freundin gekauft. Sie ist top zufrieden.

Bin sehr zufrieden. Durch die vorgegebenen Linien war das Aufspannen ein Kinderspiel.

Die inch-Einteilung weicht sehr deutlich vom Zollstock ab. Sehr! Die cm-Einteilung dagegen stimmt genau. Und die Nadeln sind wirklich sehr dick. Ich werde lieber normale Stecknadeln verwenden. Update: Der Verkäufer hat sich sofort bei mir gemeldet und wirklich alles getan, um das Problem in meinem Sinn zu lösen. Dickes Lob!! Update 2: ich habe die Matten inzwischen x-mal benutzt. Sie sind wirklich genial. So genial, dass ich trotz der falschen inch-Angaben 5 Sterne vergebe.

Parfait, tapis bien épais, facile à emboîter. Les épingles fournies sont suffisantes, pour le moment pas besoin de peignes.
