Blocking & Care

LOVAfur's artistic wooden mitten blockers are handmade with elaborate and beautiful cutouts. Airflow is important in the blocking process to ensure your project doesn't stay too damp or collect mildew. Each set comes with two matching mitten blockers, so you can block both mittens at the same time!

These mitten blockers are created with high-quality 4mm thick beech plywood - a material known to be resistant to cupping or warping. Each one is carefully crafted and unique, therefore color and grain texture might differ slightly from our images.
