That is exactly what makes it so fun and unique!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the wooden darning mushroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 10–12 cm high, so it's perfect for socks, sleeves, and sweaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is there bark on the edge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat provides extra grip and character. It makes it a bit more quirky than the standard wooden version. Please note: because of the bark, it is primarily suitable for slightly coarser darning work – thick socks or sweaters, for example. For very delicate fabrics, I would choose a smoother model, such as the darning egg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat else do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDarning wool, a needle, a bit of patience, and a good reason to be proud.
