Repair one hole with it. If the hole is still there, write to us within 60 days and we refund you in full. No forms and no questions.
I took the winter boxes out in October and found a hole at the elbow of the wool cardigan I inherited from my aunt. The seamstress quoted me a price per hole and I walked home with it still in my bag. I closed it on the sofa the evening it arrived, and I have never sewn in my life.
You already know the two ways this normally ends. The seamstress quotes you a price for the first hole and another for every hole after it, and suddenly the repair costs what the jumper cost. Or your grandmother's darning needle comes out of the drawer and leaves a hard little lump that puckers the knit.
Hand darning really does take years to learn. Holding the threads straight and tight while you weave is the hard part, and that is exactly the part this tool does for you. You pass the yarn back and forth. That is all that is left to do.
Four steps. No experience needed.
The solid beech disc goes under the fabric and the stainless steel plate and its two springs clamp over the top. The hole is now held flat and open, exactly where you can see it.
Pull the yarn over the 16 rounded double hooks, one at a time. The springs keep every thread at the same tension, which is something hands simply cannot do.
Turn the hooks, pass the needle through, turn them back. Row after row, the hole fills itself in before your eyes. Around fifteen minutes for a hole the size of a coin.
Take the loom off, fasten the ends on the inside, and wear it. Matched to the colour, it disappears. In a contrasting colour, it looks like embroidery you chose.
Search for a darning loom anywhere and the same two complaints come back on every bargain version. The metal corners are sharp and cut your fingers on the first go. And the hooks do not turn properly: they stick halfway, and all the thread you spent ten minutes tensioning slips off.
Those two things are the product. If the hooks stick, you have bought a piece of scrap metal. Ours are 16 double hooks with rounded tips, so they slide over wool and cashmere without snagging and they do not bite your fingertips. The two springs are stainless steel and give the same tension on the hundredth repair as on the first. The disc is solid beech, not plywood, so it does not flex when you press.
And one more thing nobody tells you before you order: the yarn is in the box. An assortment of colours, the darning needles, an illustrated step-by-step guide and 15 patterns to copy. Nothing to add to the basket afterwards.
It starts with the jumper you could not throw away. Then it is the elbow of his merino, the heel of a wool sock, the knee of a pair of jeans, the moth hole in the blanket your mother made. A worn patch does not even need a hole to be worth covering.
You do not have to hide the repair either. Matched to the colour, nobody will find it. In a contrasting colour, as a flower or a small square on the knee, people ask where you had it done.
We choose the things we sell with one question: does it still get used in six months, or does it go in a drawer?
This one passed. Repair one hole with it. If that hole is still there, write to us within 60 days and you get every cent back. No forms, no questions.
The same sentence comes back again and again: I have never sewn, and I closed the hole on the first evening. Most people bought it for one garment they could not throw away, usually a wool or cashmere jumper found when the winter boxes came out, and then used it on socks, elbows, jeans and blankets. Reviewers single out the rounded hooks that slide over fine knit and the steel springs that hold every thread at the same tension, which is what makes the finished patch lie flat instead of puckering. Several compared the price of the kit with what a tailor had quoted them for a single hole. A handful say their very first repair was uneven while they found the rhythm and suggest starting on a sock. One reviewer would like more yarn colours and another would like more patterns.
I opened the winter boxes in October and found two holes in the cashmere my husband gave me twelve years ago. Both closed the same evening, and I cannot sew at all.
I asked a tailor first and the price for the first hole was more than this whole kit. The kit has mended four things since.
My grandmother's darning needle always left a hard little knot that puckered the knit. This lies completely flat. That is the whole difference.
Not one stitch, ever. I did the first one on a wool sock to practise and then went straight to the good cardigan.
That is the part hands cannot do. The springs hold every thread at the same tension and you just pass the yarn across.
Honestly, my first attempt was a bit wobbly while I found the rhythm. The second one was neat and the third one I would happily show people.
I was worried about snagging fine knit. The hook ends are rounded, so they go over the wool instead of pulling it.
Worn right down, not even a hole yet. I wove a patch over it in grey and you have to be told it is there.
She chose orange yarn on purpose. Her friends asked where we had it done. Fifteen minutes on the sofa.
Illustrated, step by step, and the patterns gave me something to copy instead of inventing. I did not have to go and look for a video.
Works exactly as described and the yarn that comes with it covered my first three repairs. Four stars only because I would happily have paid for a bigger colour range.
No extra yarn to order, no pattern book to buy. I opened it and started the same evening.
Good wool socks cost real money. I have mended six pairs and the heels have held through the wash.
That is all it takes once you have done one. It has turned into the thing I do in the evening instead of my phone.
My mother could darn and I never could. The tool holds the threads, so there is almost nothing left to learn.
Moths had been at it and I could not bring myself to throw it out. It is back on the bed.
No complaints about the tool at all. My advice is simply to do your first repair somewhere nobody looks.
The repair is not bulky, which was my worry. I wear the jumper under a jacket and feel nothing.
The disc is real beech and does not bend when you press on it. You can feel that straight away.
There was no hole at all. I just wanted something on it. It took one evening and it looks deliberate.
Gave it to my sister, who keeps everything and mends nothing. She has already sent me photographs of two repairs.
I was braced for the metal to snag my fingers. The hook ends are rounded loops and nothing bites.
My wife wears through elbows faster than anyone I know. Four jumpers in one weekend and the kit still works like new.
I thought this would be another thing that goes in a drawer. It has lived on the coffee table since it arrived.
The first row of threads is fiddly until you understand it. After that it is genuinely relaxing.
I had a cheap one that was more trouble than it was worth. The hooks on this glide and the springs keep their pull.
She taught me nothing about sewing because she could not sew either. Now we compare repairs on the phone.
Woven, not glued, so it has survived the washing machine four times with no sign of lifting.
A knitted hat with a hole right at the front. Now it has a small blue square on it that looks like it came that way.
Matched the colour as closely as I could and now I genuinely cannot point to it myself.
It had been in the wardrobe for two winters because of one hole. One evening and it is back on.
Fifteen patterns is plenty to start with, but I went through them quickly. The tool itself is excellent.
He spent years learning it. I managed something respectable on the first evening because the tool holds everything.
I did not expect that. Twenty minutes of weaving in the evening and my head is quiet.
One tool and it has already paid for itself several times over compared with what a tailor charges.
I thought it was only for wool, and it did a cotton summer top perfectly well. Four stars because fine cotton needs a lighter hand than wool does.
I read the guide twice, laid the disc behind the hole and followed it. That was the whole of it.
The same tension on every thread without thinking about it. That is why the result looks so neat.
I went straight for a visible spot on a cardigan and would do it the other way round next time. The tool is not at fault.
I timed it out of curiosity. Ten minutes, start to finish, and that was my fourth repair.
I bought it for myself. I have used it twice and she has used it eleven times, so we now need a second one in the house.
Knitted mittens with a thumb worn right through. Rewoven and back in the hall.
Three weeks and several washes later, every repair is exactly where I left it.
I bought it to save one cardigan. It saved the cardigan, and then four other things.
She wanted patterns on her denim jacket and I have barely had it back since. One kit is not enough for two people who both want it.
The page says your first repair will not be perfect and that is true and fair. My second one was.
No fault with the kit itself; I simply put off my first repair for a week out of nerves. Completely unnecessary.
One tool, and every worn thing in the house suddenly has a future. I keep finding more to do.
Your review will appear once we have matched it to your order. It means a lot to us and to other families.
Yes, and that is the whole reason the tool exists. The hard part of darning is holding the threads straight and tight while you weave, and the loom does that for you. You lay the disc behind the hole, hook the threads over and pass the yarn back and forth. The illustrated guide takes you through it step by step.
Honestly, probably not. The first one is usually a little uneven while you find the rhythm, and most people do their first one on a sock on purpose. By the second or third it lies flat and even, and that is the one you put on the good jumper.
No. All 16 hooks have rounded tips, so they slide over fine knit instead of catching it, and the beech disc behind the fabric means you never push a point through the fibre. Cashmere, merino, lambswool, cotton knit and denim all work.
No. An assortment of coloured yarn comes in the box, together with the darning needles, the illustrated guide and 15 patterns to copy. There is nothing to add afterwards.
Around fifteen minutes for a hole the size of a coin, once you have done one. A worn patch with no hole at all takes less time.
Jumpers, cardigans, socks, elbows, knees, jeans, blankets, scarves and knitted hats. Moth holes, worn-down patches and snags. You can also weave a pattern onto a garment with no hole in it at all.
That is your choice. Matched to the colour of the garment, it disappears into the knit. In a contrasting colour it looks like embroidery, and that is what most people end up doing on jeans and children's clothes.

Excellent! 4.8/5 from 3,146 reviews
I bought it for the one jumper and have used it on five things since. Ordering was easy and customer service answered me the same day.
Honestly, one of the best things I have bought. It was out of the box and on the sleeve of a cardigan the same evening.
My mother tried to teach me to darn when I was a girl and I was hopeless at it. With this I managed it at the first attempt.
I gave it to my daughter, who owns three jumpers with holes in them. Two of them are already back in her wardrobe.
The parcel arrived in perfect order. The wood and the metal are exactly as in the photographs and better than I expected.
Third time ordering here. Always the same: careful packaging, everything easy and products that do what they promise.
