Blocking is a finishing process for knitted and crocheted items. When you block your creation, you
set the shape and open the pattern and smooth the fibres into a finished piece.
Blocking is most effective when using natural fibres but is an equally valid process for synthetics. When knitting lace or cables, blocking and stretching will open out the fabric and really show the pattern off.
Socks have a particular shape and Twisted Sheep’s sock blockers are created to be the perfect shape for your handcrafted socks.
The width of the foot and leg on the blocker equate to the size of a real foot and the heel and toe will fill out the engineered shape to make the fit perfect.
We sell a variety of sock blockers on Twisted Sheep. You can see our range here
