Easier. Features two-piece construction for use with or without a handle, threaded top on the handle and a comfortable grip. 1. Place the clothes hole over the egg so that the wrong side of the fabric is facing you. 2. Start with a darning needle of the right size and a repair material (reinforcement thread, embroidery thread or yarn) for your project at least five stitches on the edge of the hole. For stability, use longer lengths of repair material. 3. Strive for a tight weave. Start sewing from top to bottom with a playpen stitch. 4. Add lines vertically spaced approximately one strand width apart. Leave small bows at the end of each row. Stitches in a row should alternate with stitches the next, creating a traditional brick design. 5. When your stitch reaches the hole, the "bridge" stitch starts on one side above the edge of the hole and continues from below the edge on the other. The next "bridge" stitch starts from below the edge and continues across the edge on the other side. Alternative "bridge" stitches in this method. 6. After all vertical rows have been added, start adding horizontal rows above and below the vertical rowas in a basket weave design (use diagonal rows for the second set if "stretch" is needed in the garment - e.g. knitwear) 7. When finished, cut and tie your threads. Avoid large knots so that you do not feel discomfort when wearing. ## Features - Two piece construction for use with or without handle - Thread on top of handle - Comfortable handle - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings and language of the product, labelling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B00LYD82NO | | Brand Name | Dritz | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (658) 4.7 out of 5 stars | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072879826265 | | Included Components | Stuffing egg | | Item Type Name | Stuffing egg | | Manufacturer | Prym Consumer | | Manufacturer Part Number | 82626 | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | 82626 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 072879826265 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dritz - **Included components:** Stuffing egg - **Material:** Wood - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Dritz Clothing Care 82626 Darning Egg, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jMPP2rgYL.jpg) ![Dritz Clothing Care 82626 Darning Egg, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C6ZzF-rOL.jpg) ![Dritz Clothing Care 82626 Darning Egg, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61x-TU+avsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handige sokkenstopper! *by on Reviewed in Belgium 1 January 2026* Handige tool om sokken te stoppen. Het handvat is ook handig als steun tegen je lichaam. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool! *by on Reviewed in Canada 21 September 2021* Just as advertised. Makes darning socks so much easier. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Darn Good Darning Tool *by on Reviewed in the United States 25 October 2020* What is there to say about a darning egg? I moved (two years ago but I'm still trying to go through boxes after significantly downsizing) and I have yet to find my previous darning egg. After collecting about 5 pairs of socks in which one or both socks need some darning as well repairing holes in clothing and other fabrics, I decided to just go ahead and purchase a new egg. I like the handle on this darning egg because it gives me more control of the fabric without having the egg wiggle around and shift. Compared to my old version egg, the handle is a great improvement and I'm using it more often for all hand sewing like restitching holes in T-shirt underarms where the seam has just opened up and it's easier to hand sew than to haul out the old sewing machine for an inch or two restitch. I can hand sew the hole faster than winding a bobbin!So (or should I say, "Sew"), think outside the box (or sox) for uses of this darning egg because the handle makes it much more versatile.Hope this review is helpful.
