Irritated, actually
Well, this week I finally got the wedding scarf blocking - using my brand new BlocKit blocking wires. The instructions for the wires warn you to wipe them down using warm soapy water, so I did. Then I blocked the white alpaca scarf. Need I continue?
Yes, the white scarf now has grey edges. Sigh. And I really was hoping to gift it tonight or this weekend at the latest, seeing as the wedding was actually six (almost seven) weeks ago. I sincerely hope the grey washes out. If not, I will be exceedingly perturbed.

that sounds horrible! What do you think it was from, the chemical reaction in the wires?
I had a similar experience with blocking pins that the coating wore off, and left little rust spots all along my shawl!
Not really sure - I'm debating washing the wires again and trying once more, but on the other hand I may just pin block the scarf.
