Washing and blocking are essential parts of the knitting process, and not as straightforward as they sound either. Typically, a large project like my Traveler's Blanket would be steam blocked to avoid stretching the stitches due to water weight. I decided that it was time to bust this myth once and for all by taking on the challenge of wet blocking a 7ft blanket myself!
In this vlog, I take you along on my stressful journey, and provide tips and tricks along the way for the best ways to wash and block hand dyed yarn! Stick around to the end to see if it is really possible to wet block a blanket without ruining it!

I would love to know if you have ever tried to wet block a blanket! It was challenging but fun!
It looks great and thanks for showing how it’s done. I’ve been wondering how to block large pieces so I’m glad you sacrificed yourself & your beautiful blanket for the cause. 😂❤😂
My one thought is that if your washer has the setting & you’re able to, fill it up w/the required water & suds then let it soak, turning the cycle off so that you can agitate the blanket by hand before having it go into the spin. Some washers will do this & some won’t. This way would also allow a second rinse cycle w/o suds (after first pulling the blanket out).
Hi Addy, you read my mind with this episode, because while I am crocheting my shawl, I asked myself how to wash and block Addys yarn best way. And by the way the shawl is growing and looks really pretty in Apple Cider. Thank you for your talent and hard work 😍!
It means a lot to hear that this is an topic you were really interested in watching and learning a bit more about my process!
I bet that shawl is going to be gorgeous. I’d love to see it sometime whenever you finish it!!
Thank you so much for knitting with my colorways! Your support does not go unnoticed.💗
Beautiful!!! You should be so proud!!! Now you get to enjoy its beauty!!!
What a lovely journey to join you in. As always a thoroughly enjoyable time with you and my coffee. Until next time take care. :)
What an adventure to watch! I admire your perseverance. Beautiful blanket!
Addy, your blanket is absolutely gorgeous!!!😍 Congratulations on this mammoth wet block! I sat and knit on my Cozy Memories blanket with my Ruby and Roses minis while watching. Hmmmm.... perhaps you've inspired me to wet block this when it gets done!?😂❤
Amazing job Addy!!!! Can’t wait to start knitting!!!!!
Great video! Thank you!
This was a great video showing your blocking process.❤
Yay! It makes me so happy to hear you enjoyed seeing how I care for my FOs!
Congratulations!
It looks like after drying; the lace edges are not rippling. It is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the process. I love your washing containers. I have been looking for some.
Awesome! Yeah they’re super practical and I love that they fold down so it takes up less space.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you love the blanket! There are a lot less ripples when it’s not completely flat on the blocking mats but I like it either way now! I think the added texture is super eye-catching.
How many blocking squares did you use?
That is the same exact washer that I have....LOL
Haha they’re the best
