I have moderate knitting skills and very little understanding of sewing terminology, but can probably do anything I am able to look up.

It's cotton and viscose, and I'm fine with it being all black since the white slub probably isn't replicable. I don't know what thread/yarn I need, or what tools.

I also have some fingering weight rainbows I would like the look of if superwash merino wouldn't warp too much?

Do you darn your socks? I'd thought it was a thing done in centuries past. But I heard a modern person mention it like it was a normal thing to do. (To be fair, I've only heard a modern person say this *once*.)

I do have a problem with socks getting holes in the heels before they're otherwise used up. Should I be darning them? How?

Thanks for your input!

I got myself a speedweve #darning loom! I probably could have chosen an easier #mending project than a delicate cashmere blend scarf to try it out on but I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. I still need to work on making neater edges but that’s just practice. #VisibleMending

The darning will continue until socks improve!

I set aside my embroidery this week to resume some darning.

Have been darning so many socks lately, but finally doing the last sock!

Repairing my clothing is an almost weekly task for me. It could really be a daily task if I wanted it to be. There are enough repairs to make.
