Krækiber Sock Blocker

These beautiful wooden sock blockers have been specially created by Hélène Magnússon to ensure your handknit socks fit perfectly, making all those stitches properly come to life and shine!.

The sock blockers are crafted from natural birch plywood and are handmade in Poland especially for Hélène. Strong and sustainable, their design is inspired by a type of bearberry that grows in Iceland (Sortulyng in Icelandic, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi). The red berries were used to make ink in the middle ages and to dye cloths black. It grows all over Iceland.

A useful blocking tool for handmade socks, they are also a beautiful object on their own and will make a perfect gift for any sock knitter (or crocheter!).

Please note - this listing is for one single blocker, for a pair you need to choose 2 in quantity.
