Darning – and redarning – socks adds years to their life span. Having a darning mushroom – or other round wooded object is useful and stops you sewing two sides of the sock together. I use embroidery silks rather than darning wool (few socks nowadays are made of wool – and work a weaving stitch in both directions to either fill in a hole, or more often to reinforce an area of the sock that is wearing thin.
With an attractive colour, the darning can add to the character of the sock!
