darning disc | spalted beech | limited edition

I use a darning disc every single day for mending and it's hands down my favourite tool of choice for mending most holes. Simply place the disc underneath your fabric / the hole you need to repair and secure the fabric into place with the elastic tie (watch in action here). The slightly domed shape of these discs means that they can be used to fix a multitude of garments as opposed to a darning mushroom that may be too domed and the adjustable elastic tie means that you can ensure the tension of your fabric is right before you start darning.

Using my original Speedweve darning disc as a model, these darning discs have been hand turned using offcuts of spalted European Beech wood by Sophia at Function & Form. Please note that the nature of the spalted wood will mean a different pattern to each disc, and will be picked at random. They come supplied with beautiful recycled elastic from Merchant & Mills in 3 different colours and a clear plastic toggle. The coated elastic ensures no snags or further damage can come to your clothing and the toggle helps to make the elastic easily adjustable.

These darning discs are an extra special addition to your mending toolkit that I hope you'll love and use for years to come.
