Darning Yarn

We're lucky to be in community with so many passionate yarn dyers, and want to share that beauty with you! This yarn was chosen to work perfectly with our darning looms. I love it for repairing knitwear and socks, as well as for mini weaving.

What's really cool about each of the yarns in this collection is how the colours shift throughout the spool to create a lovely variegated pattern in your darning -- without any extra ends to weave in!

About the yarn:

• 5g yarn on custom spool cut from recycled box board.
• Each spool contains enough yarn to complete multiple darning projects, and is labelled with the yarn's fibre content & the dyer's name.
• We stock "sock weight" aka "fingering weight" yarn because it's the perfect thickness for our darning looms and general purpose knitwear mending (including socks, of course!)
• We have a few options for "heavy lace" weight, which is just a touch thinner than fingering but a fluffy two-ply, try it where you need a thinner patch. It can be doubled up in the warp or weft for a denser patch than what you see in our samples.
• Superwash wool is designed to not felt in the wash, so mending with this should not impact the care instructions for your garment. Avoid the dryer if possible.
• Each colour variant is limited edition and won't be restocked once it's sold out.
