What does darning yarn do and when do you need it?
Darning yarn is specially developed to extend the lifespan of hand-knitted socks. You use this yarn to darn holes in socks or you knit it in while making new socks. It reinforces the most vulnerable areas, such as heels and toes, where wear occurs most quickly.

Why choose this 30% wool / 70% acrylic blend?
This fibre composition combines the natural properties of wool with the durability of acrylic. The wool content provides warmth and breathability, while the acrylic provides extra strength and shape retention. This makes the yarn particularly suitable for heavily used parts of socks that experience a lot of friction.

Black yarn for practical applications
The black colour is a deliberate choice for repair work and reinforcement. Black is less noticeable when darning holes in dark socks and gives a neat finish. Moreover, black is a neutral colour that you can use with many different sock colours without it standing out.

Practical tip for optimal results
When you knit the yarn in, use it only in the places that need extra reinforcement. For darning holes, work with small stitches and follow the original knitting direction of the sock for the best result.
