Amazingly flexible Lace Blocking Wires
Saturday, May 12th, 2012
Super long gold ultra fine blocking wires
These ultra fine wires stand apart from anything else on the market today. They are perfect for your fine lace projects - light and delicate, yet incredibly strong and flexible. They are ideal for scalloped or curvy or straight edges. Made from a super-elastic wire with seemingly magical flexibility, they will not rust, tarnish, corrode, or easily kink. They will not stain your knitting, and will last for many years. You can arch and curve these wires as you need, and they will always return to straight. This special property allows these wires to be used over and over again without weakening from repeated bending and straightening. Most of them come in gold, silver or pewter tone.
Also arrived today is a big stock of nickle-plated T-pins
