I dry block most of the time. But wet blocking is easier for the 1st try. Soak the shawl for 20 min, if you have wool wash, add some to the

Luke warm water. When done, gently squeeze out the excess water. Of you have foam.boards block on those, if not lay a clean towel down on

carpet or mattress. The pin out using t-pins. I start with the top edge center, pinning every inch or so. But check the outer edge as you go

gently temp. pin it in places to make sure your getting the right shape & not over stretching the top. Then go back & adjust the bottom edge

pinning points or what ever shape it is until you're happy with the look. Leave until dry, then unpin.

wet block it and do all Moa said
