Soft launching for UK & US customers.
Darning Socks is a book of ideas and full instructions for visible mending on socks, so they stay in use and out of landfill. Hikaru Noguchi has also worked out a way to make a mend last longer, which saves darning the same hole twice.
Translated from her Japanese original and photographed throughout, it starts with threading a needle and choosing the right thread, then moves on to colour and unusual materials for more experienced menders. Paperback, 80 pages, 182 x 256 mm.
Pair it with Beyond Darning, her book on mending as decoration, or with a darning kit for someone who has never held a darning egg.
