Visible Mending Kit
A very popular handmade visible mending kit containing the essential tools you need to start your mending journey.
The wool mending kit includes:
1 pouch, with 2 large pockets and wool needle pages. Made in the studio.
5 needles: 3 tapestry needles in different sizes, 1 embroidery needle and 1 long darning needle.
10 mini skeins of extra fine lambswool including bright and neutral colours. Approx. 8.6m per colour
1 x 17cm square approx of knitted fabric to practice on.
1 small latch needle, perfect for picking up stitches.
This would go very well with the book ‘Visible creative mending for knitwear’, which will teach you all the essential techniques you need to start creatively mending your clothes with your new visible mending kit. Available to order online today.
I hope this will become your must have travel companion, with everything you need to mend or make wherever you go! Here’s some more information about it:
The outer fabric of the pouch, skeins of wool, and practice fabric, are all made from a very high quality lamb’s wool, that’s spun and dyed in Scotland using Global Organic Textile Standard approved dyes. The fibre is Responsible Wool Standard certified. The outer fabric and practice fabric is knitted in the studio on a hand powered knitting machine.
Colour proportions and combinations may vary slightly.
All linings are 100% linen, made in the EU and Oeko-Tex certified. Patterns and colours will vary.
The needle ‘pages’ are made with a woven wool fabric made in the UK, as wool should stop your needles from rusting over time.
Use the lambswool in the skeins double when working on the practice fabric. The yarn is suitable for very fine knits.
All the needles are made in the UK.
The pouch is big enough to store scissors, crochet hooks, stitch holders, a couple of pens etc. It’s been carefully designed to be recyclable or biodegradable when it comes to the end of its life (which shouldn’t be for decades yet).
