Darning Yarn

Darning yarn is a type of yarn that is specifically designed for mending holes or tears in fabric. It is typically made from wool or a wool blend, which makes it strong and durable. Darning yarn comes in a variety of colors, so it can be matched to the color of the fabric being mended. The yarn is also available in different thicknesses, which allows for more precise mending. To use darning yarn, the first step is to thread a needle with the yarn. The needle is then inserted into the fabric, just outside the hole or tear. The needle is then brought up through the fabric on the other side of the hole or tear, creating a loop of yarn. The needle is then inserted back into the fabric, just outside the hole or tear, and brought up through the fabric on the other side of the hole or tear, creating another loop of yarn. This process is repeated until the hole or tear is completely filled with yarn. Darning yarn is often used to mend socks, sweaters, and other knitwear. It can also be used to mend other types of fabric, such as denim or cotton. Darning yarn is an important tool for those who want to extend the life of their clothing and reduce waste.
