Our Darning eggs are hand crafted in Lincolnshire , by our wood turner Ed. Using locally sourced new wood, to give it a smooth tight grained finished, so it will not snag on clothing. All our eggs, just like in nature, will vary in size and shape. The one illustrated has a flat bottom for photography.
if you’re working on smaller items like small socks, the darning egg is your go-to. For larger repairs, reach for the darning mushroom. Both tools play essential roles in exten as ding the life of our beloved textiles!
Darning Egg:
A darning egg gets its name from its rounded egg shape. Our Eggs are made from hard wood, typically Oak.
The egg shape allows it to fit snugly inside a sock, providing tension around the hole.
