Monochrome Square Darning

from $28.00

Darning is an ancient technique of weaving yarn or thread to mend holes in textiles. It’s a slow, careful method typically done by hand, or with small, handheld looms. It is best suited for sweaters or knitted items such as socks, hats, or gloves, although it also looks beautiful on small holes in denim, trousers, or outerwear.

This type of darning is a solid color, in a crisp square or rectangle shape (at mender’s discretion, depending upon the size and shape of the flaw). Please note that colors may look different on your screen. When choosing the size of your mend, please keep in mind that the flaw on your item must be smaller than this finished size indicated on the size chart. Please refer to the size chart to determine the best fit for your item, or reach out to us with questions at hello@theribbitfactory.com.
