    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect mat from a great company that actually backs their products!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024
    This is my first blocking mat, I didn’t want to drop $40+ on one so I chose this one as it was cheap and small (when put together it is 2’x2’.) I didn’t even realize it was from a small company, but that makes it even more worth it than it already was. A blocking mat is just foam pieces with pins, so they’re charging a fair price while still making profit. They wrote a hand written note and had an extra note stating if I wasn’t satisfied with my order they will either replace or refund me, regardless of how long it’s been. They also included a mustache sticker which I think is cute, love when companies go out of their way to add cutesy little things that make people smile. The thank you note, hand written note, refund guarantee, and the little sticker is all so thoughtful and shows that they really care about their customers. The mat itself works great, I have a craft market coming up and wanted to block all my accessories to make sure they were professional looking, and this did exactly what it was meant to. The pins are thin and sharp so it doesn’t make holes in your product, but they’re just thick enough that they actually hold it in place (even when stretching it a lot.) It comes with a good bit of pins, I was able to block 2 bandanas and a headband, I could’ve fit up to 3 more headbands on it as well, but I didn’t have enough pins. You could always get some from dollar tree if you do intricate work and need a lot per project. Photo is of my crochet halfway through drying. Overall I’m so happy with my order, and I highly recommend this product.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024
    These are great to have around, and you can buy more mats to lock together if you have a bigger project. When I first started crocheting I got a wooden blocker with thick needles, but the pins are kinda too thick so it leaves some noticeable gaps, when I started working on garments and knitting I really wanted to block without that. The pins are a lot thinner than what I was using, and again, the possibility for a bigger blocking area is great! I’m also thinking of getting some comb pins for it, which wouldn’t work on my previous wood board either. I still like my wood one, don’t get me wrong! It’s pretty, it works for certain projects, and I have good memories with it, but I think the foam boards are more versatile.

    I really love these, I have ordered a pile, I like that they can interlock for bigger pieces, but are also great for granny squares.
    The number of T pins included is reasonable.
    I like that they are light enough that I can attach them to the wall, but also breakdown small enough that I can store them in an old milk crate.

    My only negative is that I wish the lines were printed more evenly so that it does not matter how the pieces interlock, but that’s just nitpicking.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fit Well; A Little Small
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024
    They’re thick and durable and stack well, and I ordered more of them for bigger projects since a pack wasn’t enough for a shawl. The squares have numbers on them, but I’m not sure why since they don’t actually align when I put them together.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Granny Squares
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2024
    I love these for blocking my granny squares. They came with a few pins but when crocheting big projects you will need more pins. I used regular sewing pins and that worked great. I would buy more of these.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Works fine for blocking, but…
    Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2024
    I purchased these as a “new” item. When they arrived, there were pin holes already in the mat (obviously USED). The T pins that come with? Over half of them were bent, rusted, or both. Overall, the blocking mats work fine, but I’m very disappointed to have purchased new and obviously received a used product. I will not be buying from this shop again.
