With these instructions, do-it-yourself types can easily make their own frame for as little as $40 instead of spending $80 to $100 for a wooden frame. All you need are a few simple tools (saw, drill, screwdriver, sandpaper), PVC pipe, and our illustrated, step-by-step instructions.

Unlike wooden boards, wet sweaters won't harm this Wooly Board, and it can easily be taken apart to fit in a closet or under the bed when not in use. It is infinitely adjustable. A Frugal Knitter's Wooly Board can handle both your petite sweaters and your husband's XXL sweaters with equal ease.

A. S. (you knitters know who I mean!) recommends a Wooly Board to block Fair Isle sweaters. We've found that almost any sweater, hand knit or not, benefits from being blocked and/or dried on a frame of this type. The open-frame design allows air to circulate, drying your sweater in no time! Our Wooly Board can be made to stand alone or to lean against a wall like the original Shetland Island-style boards.
