Two widths give you speed along edges and control around details
The larger combs cover straight sections quickly. The smaller combs fit short edges, corners and changes in direction. Together, the 20 blockers provide 128 parallel pin points in one fitted blue case.
Approximately 3.6cm wide, with four embedded points in each blocker. The eight smaller combs provide 32 points for corners, curves and shaping.
The rainbow assortment makes the set bright, visible and easy to organise on your blocking surface.
The included box keeps both widths together and the sharp points covered between uses.
Broad plastic bodies give you a controlled surface for careful insertion and removal.
Blocking mats, wires, string, T-pins, tape measure, spray bottle and project are not included.
Sharp blocking tool: keep the case closed when the blockers are not in use, and store it securely away from children and pets. These tools are not toys.
Official KnitPro photography shows every blocker and detail
Even spacing is built into every comb
Each press places four or eight parallel pin points at once. That helps spread tension across a wider section, keeps straight edges easier to align and reduces the scalloped look that widely spaced individual pins can leave behind.
Sweaters
Align body pieces, sleeves, shoulders and hems to the pattern measurements before seaming.
Shawls
Hold long edges evenly, then add individual T-pins where decorative points need precise control.
Scarves
Straighten long sides and help the fabric settle into a consistent finished width.
Blankets
Control wide edges, crochet borders and joined sections on suitable foam blocking mats.
Motifs
Use the smaller blockers to square motifs and prepare matching pieces for assembly.
Use the anchor holes as part of your blocking method
With string or smooth cord
- Secure a suitable line through the anchor holes
- Use it as a visual reference along a project edge
- Adjust tension gradually instead of pulling one area aggressively
- Choose a clean, non-shedding line that will not mark the yarn
Alongside blocking wires
- Thread a suitable blocking wire through the project edge first
- Place blockers beside the wire to secure the fabric to the mat
- Create smooth straight lines or gentle curves
- Blocking wires are separate accessories and are not included
Block to the pattern measurements: the aim is to shape and settle the fabric, not to stretch every project as far as it will go. Check the yarn care instructions and avoid distorting the stitches.
Prepare, measure, position, dry and store
Check the fibre
Follow the yarn label or pattern and choose a wet, spray or other suitable blocking method.
Prepare the work
Remove excess moisture gently without wringing, then lay the project on clean foam blocking mats.
Measure and align
Ease the fabric to the required dimensions and arrange the edges before inserting sharp tools.
Press blockers in
Choose the large or small width, avoid splitting yarn strands and distribute tension evenly.
Dry and pack away
Leave the piece undisturbed until fully dry, then remove, dry, inspect and case all 20 blockers.

Protect the points, handles and your next project
Wipe away moisture and let each blocker dry fully before returning it to the case.

Do not press the points into furniture, floors, upholstery or an unprotected work surface.
Check the set after every session and keep the fitted case closed in secure storage.

Rainbow Knit Blocker FAQs
How many blockers are in the set?
The case contains 20 blockers: 12 large 8-pin blockers and 8 small 4-pin blockers.
How many metal pin points are there altogether?
There are 128 embedded points: 96 across the twelve large blockers and 32 across the eight small blockers.
How many colours are included?
The Rainbow set uses ten colours across its 20 blockers.
Is a storage case included?
Yes. The set is supplied in the fitted blue case shown in the official product photographs.
What is the KnitPro article number?
The Rainbow set is article 10878. The Original white set is a separate product, article 10877.
What are the pins made from?
The embedded pins are rust-resistant stainless steel. Dry them after use and stop using a blocker if a pin becomes damaged or corroded.
Why are two widths included?
The large 8-pin blockers move quickly along long, straight sections. The smaller 4-pin blockers give more control around corners, short edges and changes in direction.
What are the holes in the handles for?
The anchor holes can accept a suitable string or be incorporated into a blocking-wire method to help maintain a straight reference and even tension.
Are blocking mats included?
No. Use the blockers with a clean, stable foam blocking surface purchased separately.
Are blocking wires or T-pins included?
No. Both are separate accessories, although they can work alongside this set for detailed lace points, smooth curves and long continuous edges.
Can I use these for crochet?
Yes. They can square motifs, straighten borders and shape crocheted garments or accessories when the fibre is blocked according to its care instructions.
Are they suitable for lace points?
They are excellent for straighter lace edges. For individual decorative points or very irregular outlines, add separate T-pins for precise placement.
Can I use them for wet or spray blocking?
Yes, when the method suits the yarn. Prepare the project according to its care instructions, shape it on suitable mats and let it dry completely before removing the blockers.
Will blocking make a project permanently larger?
That depends on the fibre, stitch structure and care routine. Block to the required measurements and avoid using the process to force an unsuitable fit.
How should I store the blockers?
Dry and inspect every blocker, return all 20 to the fitted case and keep the closed case in a secure, dry place away from children and pets.
Make the finishing stage faster, neater and much more colourful
Use the large blockers for efficient edge coverage, bring in the smaller blockers for detail, and keep the complete Rainbow set ready for your next sweater, shawl, blanket or crochet project.
