Darning

Darning is a sewing technique used to repair holes or worn areas in fabric, typically in clothing like socks or sweaters. It involves carefully stitching across the damaged area in a pattern that reinforces the fabric and restores its strength. The process often uses a needle and thread that matches the original material, and sometimes a grid or woven pattern to mimic the fabric’s weave. Darning effectively extends the life of a garment, preventing further tearing and maintaining its appearance, making it a practical and traditional method of textile repair.
