Mending & Darning Supplies NZ
Give clothing and handmade pieces another outing with repair patches, fabric darners, yarn needles and visible-mending wool. Start with the damaged material, then choose a compatible repair method, needle and fibre.
Choose a repair for woven fabric, denim or knitwear
Fabric darning and small repairs
Choose a fabric darner or sharp hand needle with an eye suited to your repair thread. Match the needle and thread to the fabric and the size of the repair. A compact repair kit keeps basic needles, thread, scissors and an unpicker together.
Iron-on patches
Choose a patch that extends beyond the worn area. Check the garment’s care label and heat tolerance, then follow the pack’s pressing, cooling and laundering instructions. Compare denim repair supplies for jeans projects.
Knitwear and yarn repairs
Yarn needles help weave in ends, join knitted pieces and work suitable yarn repairs. Check the point, eye and needle thickness against your yarn and stitches; guide it through without forcing the fabric.
Visible mending
DMC EcoVita provides wool colours for visible mending and embroidery. Choose a repair fibre, colour and thickness that suit the garment and its care requirements, and test the intended stitch on a small area first.
