Until the day you suddenly find your toe waving at you through a hole. Fortunately, you definitely don't have to write off a nice pair of wool socks right away. With this \u003cstrong\u003eScanfil darning wool in color CLOUD BLUE 67\u003c\/strong\u003e, you can easily repair thin spots and small holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCLOUD BLUE is a soft, calm shade of blue that goes beautifully with light blue, blue-grey, and heathered wool socks. The color can blend in subtly with the sock, but it's also fun if you want the repair to be a little visible. After all, if you're going to the trouble of darning, the rescue mission might as well be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Scanfil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eColor: CLOUD BLUE 67\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSoft light blue shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 15 meters of darning yarn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e55% wool and 45% nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFor wool socks and knitted clothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for small holes and worn-out spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTo be used with a darning needle and a darning mushroom or darning egg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy do holes appear in wool socks?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePure wool is a natural material and therefore less durable than a sock made largely of synthetic fibers. Holes appear faster for some than for others. This can be related to your walking style, the fit of your shoes, rough spots inside your shoe, or the amount of friction at your heel and toes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably do not wear regular wool socks as slippers. Without shoes or slippers, the wool rubs directly against the floor, causing the socks to wear out faster. Moreover, wool socks can be quite slippery. An unexpected slide across the living room is rarely the kind of adventure you were hoping for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStart darning before a large hole appears\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the heels, toes, and balls of the feet regularly. Do you see the wool getting thinner or more transparent? That is the best time to reinforce the spot with darning wool. It takes less time than repairing a large hole and prevents the stitches from unraveling further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe darning yarn consists of \u003cstrong\u003e55% wool and 45% nylon\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wool blends nicely with the original material of the sock, while the nylon adds extra strength to a spot that has clearly already endured some wear and tear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to darn a hole in a wool sock?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSlide a darning mushroom, darning egg, or another round object into the sock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the damaged area smoothly over the rounded shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStretch the darning yarn in straight lines over the hole, including some sturdy fabric around the damaged area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThen weave in the other direction, going over and under the threads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTuck in the ends gently without pulling the repair tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes that still sound like you need to complete a professional sock-darning course first? In our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KMz-PzzcQPo\"\u003einstructional video on darning wool socks\u003c\/a\u003e, we show you exactly how it works. Don't have a darning mushroom or egg yet? For your first attempt, you can even use an orange. Not chic, but effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDoes CLOUD BLUE match my socks?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColor 67 best matches light blue, soft blue, and blue-grey wool. With heathered socks, the color doesn't have to match exactly, as they already contain various blended shades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to keep the repair virtually invisible? Then choose the color closest to your sock. Do you actually like visible repairs? Then combine CLOUD BLUE with dark blue, grey, white, or a striking contrast color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEverything to repair your wool socks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBesides darning wool, you need a darning needle and preferably a darning mushroom or darning egg.

That saves you from buying a new pair and prevents an otherwise perfectly fine sock from being thrown away unnecessarily. And secretly, it's also quite satisfying to look at a rescued sock afterwards. Just look at what you've fixed with your own two hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVisit our store in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also find darning wool, darning needles, darning mushrooms, and of course our wool socks in our store at \u003cstrong\u003eZwaanshals 376 in Rotterdam\u003c\/strong\u003e.
