Darning Egg - Silver Maple - Item DE001
Description
A good pair of wool socks is worth a lot of money and when one gets a hole in it, it should be repaired by darning for more years of service. Here is a Darning Egg to help you with those repairs. I imagine it could also be used to repair a worn out elbow on your favorite sweater.This Darning Egg was made using specifications found in the book, "A Course In Wood Turning" by Archie S. Milton and Otto K. Wohlers published in 1919. This is from the era when people actually darned their socks. If you are a knitter, you might just enjoy having this Darning Egg as one of your tools.
This Darning Egg is made from Silver Maple and finished with Watco Danish Oil, which soaks into the wood and dries to a durable matte finish and will not wear off. When I applied the finish, the wood turned to a beautiful amber color. The largest part of the "egg" is 2 inches in diameter and the handle is approximately 4 1/4 inches long and fits the hand comfortably. The overall length of this Darning Egg is 7 inches.
