HOW TO SOFTEN STIFF YARN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcHU2h3SkrQ

 

 

BLOCKING: Basically there are 2 ways of blocking.

1.  Steam blocking: arrange item on a flat surface, hold steam iron above the surface, (not touching the surface), and  steam. Allow the item to dry in the shape desired.

 2.  Immerse in water, and squeeze water out, or spray with water. Arrange item on a thick bath towel, shape as desired, allow to dry undisturbed.
