Mend with me: scotch darning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- A recent repeat commission to mend the other elbow of this beautiful yellow jumper seemed like the perfect time to film the process of scotch darning. I haven't been well recently so there's no voiceover from me, so I hope the video itself is clear enough to show you how to create this kind of darn. It's one of my favourite repair techniques and I love the finished texture.
If you have any questions about the technique please feel free to leave a comment and ask away!
And as always, a huge thanks to my patrons over on Patreon who help to make these videos happen!

Thankyou for teaching me to darn, I've repaired so many holes since finding your channel
This has made my day, thank you so much! I hope you're loving darning
@@slowstitchclub I really am, I had a lovely sunny Sunday morning darning my socks, listening to music with some good coffee, and felt blessed when you posted a new video just as I finished. Best wishes, have a lovely Christmas
@@lornefenna9824 that sounds like a dreamy Sunday morning 😍 wishing you a very festive season too!
I learned so much from the video. It was so relaxing, too! Thank you!
I'm so pleased to hear that, thank you for the lovely message :)
Thank you. This isso clear and easy to follow I'm off to mend two moth eaten jumpers! 😊
That's so nice to hear, thank you so much! Good luck with the jumpers - I'd love to see your results :)
I was quite happy with the mend up to this point 12:52. But leaving the hole in the center will make it uncomfortable to wear and will encourage more wear in the center of the blue fabric you just wove. Also, by leaving those yellow loops at the bottom center not secured, you are allowing them to run (become unknitted). Making the center hole even larger. You spent all that time weaving a beautiful fabric on top, but failed the mend underneath by leaving that hole in the center! 🤣🤣. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.
Honestly, I have to agree to a point. I don't usually Scotch larger knits, its usually what I do over top of patches on things like leggings after I've secured larger patches on both sides of the hole & surrounding weakness. Just to ask, what methods to do you use to close the holes on the inside of mending projects?
Quick Question: with some wool thread I've been having a problem in which the darning patch had shrunk a lot after washing. Have you ever experienced the same or know how to prevent this? Thank you!
Hello! So depending on the type of mending wool you'd use, I'd normally recommend hand washing the garments - especially if they are also wool and best washed by hand anyway :)
