LAMXDBlocking Mats for Knitting - Extra Thick Blocking Boards with Grids with 24pcs Knitting Blockers, 200 T-pins, 20 Stitch Marker 3 Plastic Needles and Tape Measure - Pack of 9

Nice item.

Love the fact that it comes in a zipper case for easy storage. Love the interchangeable pads so you can make it multiple shapes. Long for scarves, squares for sweaters. The multi pins are really sharp, but come in so handy for edges and corners.

Blocking mats are a good thickness and come in a set that includes 9 mats, T-pins, blocking pins, stitch markers, finger protectors, and a measuring tape. Chemical small when I unzipped the carrying case, so I aired out the mats for 24 hours. Worked well to allow smell to dissipate. Mats interlock, and have grid lines, including circular grid lines (for pi or half pi shawls). Lines match up well when assembled. Very happy with this purchase, and would recommend!

This is the first time I used anything like this to finish my projects. The blocks are thick and well made. They fit together like puzzle pieces and are easy to store.

Some reviewers have mentioned that the price of the premium blocking kit is too high. LAMXD has now added a basic blocking kit that doesn't include the multi prong pins or other accessories. If you get the basic kit, you can probably save some money by buying the multi prong pins yourself, but I wouldn't pass on them because they're helpful in blocking larger garments like sweaters or cardigans. The single pins work fine, but getting a consistent, straight edge is much easier with the larger pronged pins.The other accessories are fine if you're just starting out with knitting or could use some spare tools. But chances are if you're buying blocking mats you're already pretty deep into the rabbit hole and don't need any more sewing needles or tailor tapes. Since both sets come with the nice storage bag, I'd opt for the basic kit and purchase the multi prong pins separately.The foam blocks function as expected. They fit nicely together and the pins stay where you want them. The red and green theme is a little strange. I prefer the blue and white basic blocks without deer and designs on them, but some might find it endearing. It doesn't take away from how they function, though, so I have no complaints.

exactly what I need to block the crocheted blankets I made.

My first blocking mats. These were a good price for 9. They came with t pins.They are very thick as described and easily fit together. I read that the gri measurements on some mats are not accurate. These are. They have inch grid, a one mat circle grid and a 4 mat circle. The 4 circle mats are even numbered so you know how the put them together.I haven't tried other mats but I'm satisfied with these.

These are great and easy to put together.Keeps my blocking straight.
