Mend Holes Beautifully, Weave Little Works of Art
A favourite jumper with a hole at the elbow, socks worn through at the heel, jeans torn at the knee: too good to throw away, but hard to fix neatly by hand. This wooden loom and mending set lets you weave new fabric straight over the hole, in a matching colour or a bright contrast, and doubles as a mini loom for small tapestries and textile art.
The problem
Clothes worth saving
How it works
Weave new fabric right over the hole
Place the wooden mushroom inside the garment under the hole and hold the fabric in place with an elastic band, so it sits flat and tight.
Stitch long threads across the hole, hook them into the little loom, then flip the hooks and weave across with the needle. Row by row you build a neat woven patch, plain or patterned.
Prefer it hidden? Pick a matching colour. Love visible mending? Choose a bold one and make the repair a feature.
Step by step
Mending with the darning loom
1. Stretch the fabric
Put the mushroom under the hole and secure the fabric around it with an elastic band.
2. Lay the warp
Sew parallel threads across the hole and catch them in the hooks of the loom.
3. Weave
Turn the hooks to switch the threads and pass the needle across, row after row.
4. Finish
Sew in the ends at the back. The hole is now filled with a neat woven patch.
50 colours
A colour for every garment
The set comes with embroidery thread in 50 colours, so you can match almost any sweater, sock or pair of jeans, or create colourful patterns and woven designs.
Natural wood
Smooth, sturdy wooden tools
The darning mushroom and the round wooden base are made of natural wood: stable, smooth in the hand and made for repeated projects.
Handy extra
A pin cushion to keep needles safe
A pretty floral pin cushion on a wooden base keeps your pins and needles in one place while you work.
