With this \u003cstrong\u003eScanfil darning wool in color 54 ANTHRACITE\u003c\/strong\u003e, you can easily repair them. This dark gray shade is particularly suitable for anthracite, mottled gray, and other dark wool socks and garments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe card contains approximately \u003cstrong\u003e15 meters of darning thread\u003c\/strong\u003e. The yarn consists of \u003cstrong\u003e55% wool and 45% nylon\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wool ensures that the repair blends nicely with a wool garment, while the nylon makes the thread stronger in areas subject to high friction. This is especially practical for heels, toes, and other areas that typically endure heavy wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures of this anthracite darning wool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Scanfil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eColor: 54 ANTHRACITE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDark gray, slightly mottled shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 15 meters of 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 both holes and thinning spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTo be used with a darning needle and darning mushroom or darning egg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen should you darn wool socks?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably do not wait until you can wave at your toes through a large hole. Do you notice the wool getting thinner at the heel, toe, or ball of the foot? That is the best time to reinforce the area. A small repair is easier and prevents the fabric from unraveling further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool socks can wear out faster than socks with a high percentage of synthetic fibers. How quickly this happens varies by person and depends on factors such as your shoes, your gait, and the amount of friction. It is best not to wear regular wool socks as slippers: they are slippery, and contact with the floor accelerates wear.\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\u003ePlace a darning mushroom, darning egg, or another round object inside the sock so that the damaged area is taut and clearly visible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUse a darning needle and span the thread in parallel lines across the hole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThen, weave in the other direction by alternating over and under the existing threads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure to include enough sturdy material around the hole so that the repair stays secure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNever darned a sock before? Don't panic, it is truly easier than it sounds. In our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KMz-PzzcQPo\"\u003einstructional video on darning wool socks\u003c\/a\u003e, we show you step-by-step how to do it. An orange can temporarily serve as a darning egg, although a real darning mushroom is naturally a bit more convenient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich color of darning wool do you need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose \u003cstrong\u003eANTHRACITE 54\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want your repair to blend in as subtly as possible with dark gray or mottled wool. With a mottled sock, the color does not have to be an exact match: a shade that is close usually blends in naturally with the various fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWould you prefer the repair to be visible? Then you can also use a contrasting color. This turns a hole from a moment to discard into a small, visible repair story.

By repairing early, you can often wear them for a long time to come. This is cheaper than buying a new pair every time and prevents an otherwise good sock from being thrown away unnecessarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe darning wool and other repair supplies are also available in our store at \u003cstrong\u003eZwaanshals 376 in Rotterdam\u003c\/strong\u003e.
