These Swift Darning Looms are a teeny bit weird, but still perfectly functional.
They just have a little extra character.
Variant: Just the Imperfect Loom
They're solo*, so if you need a Weft Pick please add one to your cart separately!
*but yes, they do come with all of our standard accoutrements as shown in the photo: needles, "how to darn a hole" book, t-shirt yarn tie, and warping helper
Variant: Imperfect XL Darning Bundle
This special bundle includes the loom & accoutrements as above, plus a Perfectly Imperfect XL Work Surface and one standard Weft Pick. No pouch. We noticed that many customers were creating this bundle naturally, so we thought we would make it easy for you :)
About "Perfectly Imperfect":
Since we use reclaimed wood, sometimes imperfections due to wear, nails, staples, or other damage pop up in places that don't work with our standard design. Depending on when in the process these imperfections reveal themselves, it can be hard to just throw the whole piece out after so much work has already gone in. So we've been collecting the ones that can be saved - here they are!
Each loom body & work surface has some degree of imperfection. Typically, this is extremely minimal and may present itself as a screw hole, small voids in the plywood, damaged veneer, or a non-critical manufacturing error. We take great care to ensure that none of this damage interferes with the technical function of the loom body. The stainless steel hooks are perfect - there's no room for error with those.
As usual, each piece is sanded to a fine, soft finish. We have done our best to smooth over all edges but please take care to inspect your work surface periodically in order to avoid any snags, for example when working with fine knit pieces. Further sanding or maintenance may be required in the future especially in cases where the veneer is not fully intact and may lift.
Customer Reviews
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 !:) 🙏
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 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!
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!
