Katy Bevan publishes books about making from Stroud: on darning and mending, rag rugs, stitched social history and an artist blacksmith who changed his craft. Every title is printed in the UK in a small run, on recycled or FSC-certified paper, with no plastic on the cover.
Everything needed to darn a sock or a jumper, in a handmade drawstring bag: a solid wooden darning egg, long needles made for a woven darn, a needle threader, and darning wool.
The kits are handmade, so each one is different, and the colours of the bag and the wool vary. The needles are especially long, which makes a woven darn easier to work.
Give it with On Mending, Darning Socks or Beyond Darning to someone who wants to start.
