Darning Tools Explained
by Andi Satterlund on March 8, 2023
Of all the fiber craft tools out there, mending tools like darning eggs and darning looms can be some of the quirkiest ones you’ll see! The simple functions of darning tools leaves a lot of room for creative construction, which is why vintage versions can look like art pieces, but the variation in styles can also make these tools intimidating, so we like to stick with natural wood classics! Here’s an overview on each tool and where you might use them to help your darning.
Episode 360 – March is for Mending!
by Knit Picks Podcast on March 1, 2023
The time is coming to start putting away heavy knits for the spring, and that’s got mending on our minds. Lee and Producer Andi discuss invisible vs. visible mending. Lee favors visible, using woven darning and contrast colors, and Andi prefers getting as close to invisible as she can using Swiss darning and color matched yarn. They also answer Stacey’s questions on mending.
On the left is a not-quite invisible mend by Andi, and on the right is a deliberately visible mend by Lee.
Plus, hear about our hosts Lee and Stacey’s personal projects, Lee’s free new pattern she designed, and our latest eBook, Lounge Act: Knits for Kicking Back.
