Thrilled to offer these new Darning Kits on my website. Ready to get repairing all your favourite clothes in time for the Sustainable Living Festival in Melbourne during February. ♻️?
These kits contain a wood darning mushrooms, a selection of eight darning needles, four meters each of six different coloured yarns, four meters each of six differed coloured cotton threads and instructions to tie it all together. All are carefully sourced with as little plastic packaging as possible.
♻️ I make the kits things myself as I want them to be special but I also want them to be useful. That perfect spot in sustainable design. They are available on the website now along with my other new kits – Sashiko and Needlefelting. Enjoy!
