Did my first use of the loom on a grey cardigan…my skills require honing but the loom was helpful. I just wish the metal was a mm or two thinner.
Hi Wendy - that's great, I'm so happy to hear you dove in right away on a repair. I'm sure you'll refine all the little details quickly, and you'll be so proud of your patches ❤️✨
We have discussed offering a finer-gauge version, but it isn't feasible with our design -- the hooks are made from 2mm bicycle spokes, and carving the wood much thinner than we already do might weaken the structure. We stuck with a middle-size that works pretty well at all but the thickest and thinnest applications, and built to last! hope you enjoy it and can pass your swift darner on to generations of future menders ❤️
Loving my little loom. It makes patching holes do quick, neat and easy. Thank you
I have a cheap mass produced cheap loom and it never gets used. The metal edges are so sharp it can literally slice and the working surface is so small. Elysha and Scott’s loom is such an incredible upgrade. The loom is handcrafted to such an amazing quality. The spokes are nice and hefty, giving a great tactile feel. You know it’s made to last. The base is nice and big and allows me to make patches significantly bigger than any other mass made mending loom. And that’s with just the standard size I bought! Upcycled materials is the cherry on top of an amazing product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND you treat yourself.
The mending loom is so well thought out and fun to use. Wishing my sweater had more holes.
Such a great kit! I love that I can make more than one style if ornament from one kit!
I was gifted a Swift loom for the holidays and downloaded the e-guides to go with it. This was a really helpful explanation of how to use it. Very clear and concise!
Très contente de l’objet en lui même que je n’ai pas encore utilisé, mais tout est de qualité y compris le service après vente qui a été très conciliant sur un problème de livraison indépendant de leur volonté.
Merci encore, je ne manquerai pas de mettre une photo du travail accompli dès que je pourrai !:) 🙏
Not only is the quality great, but it’s almost magical. From packaging to product, I highly recommend.
I received the XL bundle and it was “perfect”! I just got into darning, mending and just trying to reduce waste in my life. This bundle came with everything I need to start my journey! I am having fun using it and looking for anything that needs mending or just adding a little life into something plain. I love how the materials used to make the swift is recycled. I want to show it off! Thank you for creating this wonderful tool!
I have been following along on tiktok for a while and finally went ahead and bought it this past December - I love it so much! I am actively looking through my sweater and old clothes to find places to patch and practice my darning loom work! It's got a bit of a learning curve but it only took me one try to get it down, and I've been enthusiastically practicing ever since!
I really enjoyed using this darning loom, especially that it can handle thicker yarn. I took it to Starbucks this week to teach a friend how to darn using a mushroom vs a loom. I was able to add a full sole to a very fragile pair of handknit socks thanks to the nice long platform. So many people came over to check out the "cool machine". A big hit :-) I was happy to turn people onto darning.
One note, you can darn with sock yarn but it's loose. I'd recommend 2 strands of sock yarn (laceweight), DK, or even worsted weight yarn for a good thick patch.
It's a great loom and it makes a beautiful clear shed. The included needles and comb are nice as well. And it was wrapped beautifully too. Thank you for making the 'imperfect' looms available, I love mine!
My wife loves it. Easy to follow instructions. She is a dedicated knitter and had completed two visible mends within the first day of receiving the kit.
Awesome tool and so easy to learn. Kit came with everything I needed. Only wish I had more that needed mending, I’m so excited to fix things now!
Cute! My plant loves it and so do I.
At long last I have the Swift Darning Loom in my possession. I expected it to be high quality and it truly is. The hooks are strong and straight and stay in place and don’t get twisted. Prior to this purchase I have bought three other mini looms. Two were grossly inferior. The third showed good craftsmanship but it was round and therefore didn’t allow bigger patches. Also it was from Ukraine so no longer available. I truly appreciate the quality of the Swift Darning Loom and also the wonderful videos found on You Tube. Thank you Elysha and Scott
I got one of the perfectly imperfect darning looms and I love it! It came with a sweet little instruction book with really clear instructions, and some darning needles to get me started.
This little kit has been so helpful in mending old sweaters. It's an absolute delight to use and makes mending so much easier. My mending has never looked so tidy! Absolutely love breaking it out and can't wait to learn how to make plaid patterns with it. Thank you for making such a wonderful product!
There's nothing like buying a product that you know is light on the environment. I appreciate the design, attention to detail, and whimsy in everything that Worth Mending creates. Keep the amazing things coming!
Exceeded my expectations, and using recycled material to create this tool made me love it even more.
I am buying this as a Christmas gift for daughter. She told me about it and it seems like a wonderful product!
I love the products you guys make! I like the fact that you are up cycling by reusing items that would end up in the landfill and they look amazing. I love that your looms help people mend their clothes rather than buying new ones all the time.
Your cereal box ornaments unique and fun! It is great that a family can assemble them as a team and then hang it on their tree with the year it was put together. And it can be disassembled and reassembled in other designs as well! Your products are original and great for personal shopping and gifts!👏😁 Melinda
I only received my loom a few days ago and have not had the opportunity to sit down and enjoy using it, as I am sure I will. Seriously, it's such a beautifully crafted, well made, and excellent quality product, it's like owning a piece of art. Well done Elysha & Scott.
