Part of the Sweater Care Collection
The Cocoknits Knitter’s Block kit is one of our bestsellers and for good reason. It contains 18 one square foot tiles made from EVA foam with a grippy pile top layer. The textured pile creates space for airflow between your knits and the tiles for faster drying time, while also making the tiles self-healing from all of the pins. The kit includes 40 stainless steel t-pins (no rust stains here!) and a checkered cloth with 1 inch squares to check your gauge against if desired. Plus, a jute tote to store everything!
This was the first Cocoknits tool that Julie designed back in 2007. She wanted a blocking kit that was versatile and compact when not in use. Whether blocking a small accessory, a sweater, or a large shawl, the 18 tiles provide the surface area and shape options that you need. Julie chose to make the tiles from EVA foam because it is the most eco-friendly material available for this type of product. It is non-PVC, BPA-free, formaldehyde-free, formamide-free and used in many products, like shoes and some medical equipment. Learn more about our Sustainability Commitment here.
