About this deal

Once your item has finished soaking, lift it out of the water, making sure to support its weight evenly so that the wet fabric doesn’t sag and stretch the garment — wool can absorb a lot of water and become quite heavy! Gently squeeze (never wring) to remove excess water. Then roll your item between clean, dry towels with light pressure to further remove moisture. A ribbon board is a must-have piece of equipment for the millinery workroom. It is primarily used for shaping Petersham ribbon or bias fabric so that it will fit round the edge of a brim without wrinkling. This allows you to make perfect bindings for your hats every time! In this blog post you will learn how to use a milliner’s ribbon board. It straightens stitches and evens the tension in your knitting. It defines intricate knitting patterns, relaxes the pattern, and dries it evenly. Repeat the process until you have hidden any obvious mistakes and made your stitchwork as uniform as you’d like it. Very sturdy, so place them against a wall without them falling over while your creations are drying!

Pins are made from rust-proof stainless steel, so they’d make a great gift for any knitter. It works with most patterns.

You can add a small amount of delicate dish soap, rinseless wool wash, or Tuft Woolens Wool Soap to the soaking water if you wish; if not rinseless, you will need to re-submerge the piece in clean water once or twice to remove the soap from your fabric. This technique is a gentle method that doesn’t require you to soak your knit. You only need a steam iron, T-Pins, and mats. Place on a dry towel and gently roll up. Don’t wring it out. Rather stomp on the towel with clean feet to remove excess water. You many need more than 1 dry towel.Just as the other methods I covered, place your fabric onto the ironing board. Pin or just press into shape. Let the piece dry. If you want, place a trash bag over the ironing board to help with dry time and keep it from getting soaked. 11. Towels As mentioned a Dolly Head is great for hand draping felt cloche hats and you can see a full tutorial from HATalk on this here. Steam is an alternative way to get a small amount of moisture into your fabric. The added element of heat can be used to create shape and additional drape on your fabric. Please take all the necessary safety precautions when working with steam appliances and follow manufacturer guidelines.

First you will add 1 wire on each side of your project. Then either pin the wires out flat to shape or hang the piece from one of the wires, depending on the shape you’re working with. vulnerable to shaping (and misshaping) when it is wet. Wringing or twisting will distort your stitches. This technique works best with straw capelines.

Method 2: How to Steam Block Your Knitting

Yoga mats are also a great solution because the material is squishy, meaning it can imitate foam. The fabric can be pinned easily to a yoga mat and left to dry. A word of caution though, pins will leave marks. Pinning is best done on a yoga mat that you don’t use any more. 2. Clothesline + Clothespins

The next pin(s) should go half way across the gaps between pins and so on until you have your straight edges. Some purists might say absolutely, but honestly I don’t think it’s necessary in every project. It really depends on what it is and what it’s going to be used for. The factor of no grids might annoy some, and you might have to buy a second set to do larger knitted things Once the knitting has soaked, carefully lift it out of the basin. Gently squeeze out the excess water without wringing or twisting the fabric.If you have any particularly large holes, uneven stitches, or mistakes, pull on the surrounding stitches to distribute the yarn more evenly. They are essentially boards with holes drilled into them at regular intervals, like peg boards, into which tall solid doweling type ‘pins’ (pegs) will fit. Repeat the same process, but lengthwise. Fold the garment in horizontal sections and pull it from top to bottom, stretching out the fabric. At this point, the stitching should start to look a little neater.
