Darning, Milliner, invisible mending needles
Darning and invisible mending: two textile repair techniques
There are two types of operations for repairing textiles: darning and invisible mending. Darning a sock or jumper consists of repairing a hole or worn area with a thread as close as possible to the original fabric. Our Laine Saint-Pierre darning wool is perfect for this.
Invisible mending is a more skilled technique that involves reconstructing the warp and weft of the fabric by taking threads from the hems and seams. This delicate process allows the fabric to be restored as closely as possible to its original state.
As for milliners needles, as the name suggests, they are long needles used for hat-making. Their length also makes them ideal for basting, gathering and oversewing.
In our sewing blog, Madame Sajou’s Diary, see our articles How to repair a small hole in a jumper and Visible mending a hole in a jumper.
