Usage & Care

Usage Instructions:

    1. Place the garment hole over the egg, so the wrong side of the fabric is facing you.
    2. Using a properly sized darning needle and mending material (reinforcing thread, embroidery floss or yarn) for your project, begin at least five stitches out from the edge of the hole. For stability, use longer lengths of mending material.
    3. Aim for a tight weave. Using a running stitch, begin stitching from top to bottom.
    4. Vertically add rows approximately a strand-width apart. Leave small loops at the end of each row. Stitches in one row should alternate with stitches in the next, creating a traditional brick design.
    5. When your stitch reaches the hole, the bridge stitch will begin over the edge of the hole on one side, and continue from below the edge on the other side. The next bridge stitch will begin from below the edge and continue over the edge on the other side. Alternate bridge stitches in this method.
    6. After all of the vertical rows are added, begin adding horizontal rows over and under the vertical rowas in a basket weave design (use diagonal rows for the second set if stretch is needed in the garment - e.g. knitted fabrics).
    7. When complete, trim and tie your threads. Avoid huge knots, so you don't experience discomfort while wearing.

Handy tool

"I look forward to using thus tool in my embroidery projects and decorative mending."

— Gilda C. (5/5)

Great Product

"The Dritz Darning Egg is great for darning socks. You turn the sock inside out and put it over the darning egg to sew. It keeps the the spot you are darning in place so you can sew and close the hole. It works great!"

— Jufaswife (5/5)

Very comfortable to use & handy for darning socks.

"I don't sew a whole lot, so I had no idea there was such a thing as a 'darning egg'. But I do make small repairs in socks and pillows and any other articles of clothing that might develop small holes. This darning egg will come in so handy when it's time to fix things like that! It holds the fabric where I need it to be while keeping my fingers safe and out of the way of sharp needles. This Dritz egg looks and even feels a little like a maraca. It's lightly weighted and very comfortable to hold, and it can be used with or without the handle, which simply screws on and off. I almost look forward to having to darn socks this winter! If you do any sewing, especially of awkwardly shaped items, this is a great item to have in your sewing toolkit. Five stars!"

Great Product

"This darning egg can be used with or without the handle. It can be used to help repair things like socks, mittens, sweaters easily. I had a sweater I used it on & it worked well to repair a hole. I watched a video first so I would know how to do the stitching & it helped a lot."

Works for many uses

"This is such a handy item to keep in my sewing box! It's light weight and works well with every application I have used it for. Great for darning socks and even small torn places in jeans. I most recently used it for an embroidery project. I never knew how much I needed this!"
