Many of our customers end up placing a second order later for their weft pick.

so we added the option for you to purchase them together. Choose "Loom + Weft Pick" or "Just the loom please".
(If "Loom + Weft Pick" is out of stock you can still add a pick to your order here.)

------------------

The Swift Darning Loom is an upcycled take on classic vintage mini looms like the Speedweve (UK) or the Darn Easy (Canada). Like its vintage predecessors, the Swift Darning Loom is an heirloom in the making -- this time, with a modern and earth-conscious twist.

We designed this loom with our core values in mind. We use reclaimed solid hardwood paired with high-quality birch plywood for the base, and stainless steel hooks and hardware to hold everything together. The wood is sanded to a fine finish and left bare, allowing it the potential to develop a beautiful patina with age and use.

Each of the work surfaces is unique in character, and in many cases the original finish is left intact as a hat-tip to the previous life that the wood has already enjoyed.

The Swift Darning Loom comes with one 14-hook darning loom & our "standard size" work surface (3 x 4.5"). The rectangular shape of the work surface means that you can create a much bigger patch per 14 hooks, compared to the "original" circular disc design. (They're also more efficient to make -- less waste in production, more function in the end product! A total win!)
+ 2x 3.5" sewing needles, 1x 2" sewing needle
+ stretchy tie (so you don't have to keep scrounging for elastics as they break)
+ the most thorough mini-loom instruction booklet that exists!
+ access to lots of how-to videos on the Worth Mending YouTube channel!

Packages are sent in recycled brown paper. Opening your package reveals your OOAK "packaging materials" -- your loom and accessories are kept safe by fabric scraps from our stash that you can re-use for patching or whatever else strikes your fancy. If you're real lucky, your package will come wrapped furoshiki-style -- re-use the wrap for another gift and carry the tradition on! Or, if you order a pouch, everything gets bundled in there before being swaddled in brown paper. This process takes time, but is the least wasteful packaging method we can think of which makes it worth it! <3

Each loom is one-of-a-kind and, as we mentioned, handmade with natural wood and stainless steel. This implies that variation in colour, texture, weight and other physical characteristics is completely normal and should not affect the function of your piece. Each one of these is built to last, and we handle every single one of them before shipping to make sure that they are sanded to a velvety finish and that those hooks flip smoothly side to side. The rounded edges and curves make this piece just lovely to hold on to as you work, and the unfinished wood will develop a patina over time -- or you can choose to stain, wax, oil, or paint it as you see fit!

IF THIS LISTING SAYS "Sold Out" or "Coming Soon", this means we're in between batches! You can keep in touch and find out the second that we release more by signing up for my newsletter. The second place we announce drops is via Instagram or maybe TikTok.

Making ideas happen!

I had it in my head to save a few beloved garments that needed mending, and had actually managed to darn enough patches in one garment to wear it, but doing this with the swift darning loom is such a game changer! It is so much easier to keep things neat, and a doddle to setup and go. I have definitely gotten a few extra patches done by being so encouraged to setup for just one more, many times over!

Heir-loom!!!

The most lovely product — exactly what I was looking for. This should last forever and will be passed down to a lucky person! I love the touch of the original wood treatment left on the back of the reclaim wood. So sweet…thank you for making such a quality product. Blessings!
