Our resident pro, Barbara Benson, will be showing you how every knitted project benefits from blocking and many absolutely require it to achieve their full potential, but what does blocking actually involve? In this class you will learn how blocking interacts with the different fiber contents of yarn, different project types, and various different fabric characteristics. We will cover the tools (both traditional and non) needed for wet blocking and how to use them as well as steam blocking acrylic yarn.
