    Wow. This had to be one of the most satisfying and engaging tutorials I've ever watched. The absence of commentary and flashy editing let me just absorb and learn. Thank you!

    This is a more secure tecnique than the simple weaving I've always done. This is how I'll be darning from now on.

    Lovely job! I absolutely love that there is no talking, prattling or attempts to engage the audience with anything other than your needle skills....excellent!

  • @bunberrier
    @bunberrier 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    No words were used, so I learned without words. Somehow, this was more anchoring. I absolutely understand this mending instinctively now and dont need to remember it. Its just there.
    Not only did I learn a mending technique, but I learned about learning. I cant wait to share this idea with my daughter who teaches special needs children.

    it's a quiet revelation. Blanket stitch! i've always loved the stitch and it seems quite wonderful to turn it into rows and rows... a perfect kind of weaving.

    @lainecolley1414 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    A group of us in the late 90s speculated on what format videos here could take, and the no talking, just doing came up. The votes were split, some asking why.
    This is why. Awesome 😎

  • @MrTerryRay1
    @MrTerryRay1 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

    This is one of the best tutorials I've seen on darning. I like how you get up close to show each stitch clearly. This shows how each stitch can be easily done.

  • @catslove3884

    The video is so soothing. I love the soft sound of needle and yarn. I have my gr-mother's darning mushroom from 1920's.

    • @helenhunter4540
      @helenhunter4540 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      My mother used a darning egg -- egg-shaped as the name implies. I never saw or heard of a darning mushroom until recently. She was born and learned her skills in Stearns County, Minnesota.
      Love learning new things. Thank you.

  • @jehjey7626
    @jehjey7626 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    A very interesting technique. I would like to say that the yarn is catching so much because it is being untwisted. The tension in the each strand of yarn is still there and it wants to become one stand again so it is bunching up. I haven’t watched the whole video - maybe you fix the yarn. Retwisting it will do two things:
    1. redirect the tension in the individual threads. It will lie flat again and it will pull through smoothly.
    2. keep the yarn at it strongest as a three ply.

    Also beautifully presented. All the sewing is crystal clear and no annoying music. I used a tennis ball to hold the sock tight.

      Tennis ball! Perfect.

    • @bridgetplunkett7630
      @bridgetplunkett7630 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@bunberrier I would revise that answer slightly. A smooth ball might be better as the fibres of the tennis ball can get caught a little when you're darning. This is a wonderful technique and I've used it several times.

    Well let me tell you this little you story mam! I am a single guy and recently I fell in love with the show called All Creatures Great and Small on Masterpiece. In the show Mrs Hall mentioned Darning and I like to look words up I never heard of. Then I looked up a video for it and found yours. Your video is absolutely perfect! And I learned a very special skill from you as I often have problems with holes in my things. I am very appreciative. Thank you so much for making this video and even more I love that it’s all show and to talking ….God Bless you ! Brian

    This is what my late Mum did with all our clothes when they became worn, yet still too good to throw away - until we grew out of them! Nowadays, few people seem to have either the inclination or patience to repair their clothes. Such basic skills are seldom handed down through the generations now, which is a shame. Make do and mend was an old saying, usually because they had little choice! One of my adult sons sent me this video and said he is going to mend the holes in his favourite jumper! 😬 (I probably would have done it if I had known on my last, long journey visit, but glad that he is taking the initiative to have a go himself!)

  • @joantomlin7281
    @joantomlin7281 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    A practical method. Swiss darning is beautiful, but it takes a lot of time, more suited to sweaters than socks. The extra thread laid across the hole would also make a sturdier repair. Thankyou

    This is brilliant! Never thought to use blanket stitch like this. This is the first time I've watched a tutorial and thought, hey--I can do that! Also looks more secure that way.I wonder if I will be able to stand how it feels, but will definitely try it out.❤

    Thank you SO much for this wonderful, clear, and effective video. I am AMAZED! This method of darning is so much quicker and more effective than simple weaving. It creates a durable patch in no time at all. I used to hate darning, but
    now I find it really rewarding to patch up my wool socks with a repair that will last longer than the original knitting. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

  • @gwenwells2286
    @gwenwells2286 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    From one old needlepointing hand, when your yarn twists up, just drop the threaded needle in the air kind of upside down and let it spin itself out. You'll get your yarn twist back and it won't bunch up on you.

    • @gwenwells2286

  • @bethkolle1
    @bethkolle1 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is fascinating, and MUCH easier than the way I learned, thank you!
    Your working yarn is bunching up because it is untwisting. You can give it a twist after each row to make the darning go easier, or wait until the bunching-up gets irritating and twist it back up in one go.

  • @rayannez6228
    @rayannez6228 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Is it me? At the end, when the wood is taken away and the piece is turned over, stitched and cut, then turned back over....what happened to the loop of gold yarn on the left side?

    • @phoebea
      @phoebea 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It wasn't a loop on the left side. They were two separate yarn ends/tails: one from when the yarn length ran out and the other is a new yarn length to continue the project. So, you would repeat the last step with the other yarn ends/tails.
      I guess you could create a weaver's knot to join the two separate ends, but instead of leaving a tail, you would just continue the pattern as if there was no break in yarn/thread.

  • @viv5645
    @viv5645 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I really love this technique and found the video very absorbing. I would suggest it helps to allow the thread to re-set itself. My needle turns as I work and the thread un twists or twists tighter - causing knots and bunching - so I just counter turn the needle so it all runs smoothly.
    @jehjey7626 mentioned some good reasons to do this also. I really enjoyed watching the technique, and no distracting talk or music, thank you for posting

    @brigitte1215 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've been using your method for the last few months and have saved so many socks from the rag pile! On a few of the ones with repaired heals, the old fabric has started to pull away from the newly patched area, creating a new hole. I think it might have something to do with too much tension between the two areas. I wonder if it would help to use less tension - i.e. to either leave a tiny bit more slack at the turning point of each line of stitching, or just use less tension throughout the whole stitch.

  • @trentonjennings9105
    @trentonjennings9105 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That technique is certainly aesthetically pleasing. I darned my first pair of moth-eaten wool socks only last month. I used a simple warp/weave because that is all I knew at the time, and that was from another video. It appears the Scotch method. though pretty, derives strength in only one dimension, whereas if you weave in two directions at right angles you have the strength of the yarn in two directions. Anyway, I like this better than the Swiss darn which looks very complicated.

    Just tried this and I'm really happy with how it turned out for me. I used a sock that was slated for use as a rag, and while it's nowhere near as nice as what's shown here (I missed a couple stitches because it was my first ever time doing this and I used a dark thread which made it harder to see) I'm excited to give it another try (I purposely cut another hole into my practice sock to work on tomorrow 😂).
