    Thank you so much. I am a complete beginner but because I knit I spend quite a lot of time dealing with ends. I bought this little weaver for darning hand knitted socks. I usually use a wooden mushroom but this looks more fun.

    Can you please show how you weved the tails in that's the only part I don't quite understand and no TH-cam videos show how to do that. Thank you for the darning video!

    • @LongThreadMedia

      Good question! Kate usually weaves in the ends from the back of the fabric (wrong side). First, she pulls all the tails through to the back (shown at 16:10) and then she threads one tail onto a tapestry needle and inserts it between the base fabric and patch. The needle tip comes to the surface of the backside somewhere in the middle of the patched area. You can either clip the tail there or do a small running stitch or two for extra security. Continue until all the tails are woven in.

      But then what happens to all the “fringe” that is now inside the sleeve of the garment, under the woven patch?

    • @Om-iq1oh
      @Om-iq1oh 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@JosephanieAckmanI've never done this type of weaving but I would do a few running or back stitches on the inside with each thread as mentioned above, perhaps tie a knot, and when you stitch down the side of the patch with one of the loose thread you can tie a knot there too. I also think the patch will felt together with time, preventing the fringe from coming loose !

    Hello could you please add a video on how to finish off all the long tails? I have watched multiple mending loom videos and none show how to do this! 🙏

    • @LongThreadMedia
      @LongThreadMedia  ปีที่แล้ว

      We’ll keep that in mind for future videos, but in the meantime, here are a few of Kate’s tips for tails. For normal mends, after she pulls the fibers to the back of the cloth, she usually just weaves them with a few running stitches on the cloth under the mend and leaves the tails between the fabric and the mend. For stronger mends, you could secure the tails more carefully with more running stitches in the back. We hope that helps and happy mending!

    • @PatriciaRBritton
      @PatriciaRBritton 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you are darning with embroidery floss, instead of weaving in the ends as she suggests for wool yarn, first just pull the ends from the front to the back. On the back, if you see two ends that are close together, knot them with a square knot and cut off the excess. If an end is too far away from another end to knot them together, separate the floss into 3 x 3 or 2 x 4 strands of floss and knot them together. Cut off the excess. i have never had a knot come undone, even through many washes.

    I noticed on the light brown and blue sweater you used a 14 hook weaver and a 10 hook weaver for the dark gray sweater. Is there a reason for that? Thank you for the tutorial.. Barb

    • @LongThreadMedia
      @LongThreadMedia  ปีที่แล้ว

      The size of the darning loom Kate used was based on her desired size of the mend. We’ve found that you can always use fewer hooks than on the device, but you can’t make it any bigger. So, like Kate shows, we’ve played around with multiple sizes and tend to have a few looms in the stash.

  • @artiejohnson703

    I have never used a Darning Loom. Can you use embroidery thread for this kind of darning, or do you have to use yarn? I found this video very helpful, thank you so much.

    • @LongThreadMedia
      @LongThreadMedia  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question! Many people who use these darning looms use embroidery threads, and it’s a fun way to incorporate lots of color.

  • @sparrowfrank8364

    How would you finish it if you were patching a hole? Is there a specific way or would you just have to make the patch big enough that you’d have fabric around the hole to weave the tails into?

    • @LongThreadMedia
      @LongThreadMedia  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It would depend quite a bit on the base fabric. There are so many variables that it just depends on the situation. Generally, as you say, making the patch big enough to cover the hole and weave the ends in is great. Luckily, if you are working a darning-loom patch over a hole, the patch stabilizes the area and prevents the fabric near the hole from being pulled and stretched. Happy mending!

    Great video, I got one of the looms today and it came with 4 rubber bands. I'm not sure how long they will last and could you use any elastics that will fit and hold everything together?

    • @Fridelain
      @Fridelain 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      yes. you can also use hair bands and such, or justie it with a piece of rope or yarn. A reusable zip tie would also work. Or a strip of velchro

      The loom Kate is using in this video is a Speedweve style darning loom. This particular one can be found at www.etsy.com/shop/alexonver/, although there are many options out there for this style of mending loom. Enjoy!

    I don't see the need for the loom when you can darn this way without it 🤔

    • @LongThreadMedia
      @LongThreadMedia  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You are correct that square patches can be woven without this kind of loom. Though this tool was developed to make weaving square patches faster (by raising and lowering threads) and to make it easier to weave a tidy, square patch (by holding warp threads equidistant and under equal tension). Especially for those new to mending, these little looms can be a big help!
