About our Speedarner Mending Loom
Discover the joy of mending your own clothes with the Speedarner - a creative repair loom that makes visible mending quicker and simpler than traditional freehand darning.
 
With classic darning you have to concentrate on weaving over and under individual threads, but the Speedarner will do that part of the process for you. By simplifying the weaving process it makes mending more relaxing and enjoyable, especially for beginners.
 
Inspired by the iconic design of the original 1940’s Speedweve machine, this tiny loom creates neat patches over small holes, stubborn stains, or worn-out spots to revive and transform much-loved garments. 
 
Perfect for visible repairs to everyday garments such as: denim jeans, cotton tees, cashmere jumpers and knitted socks. However, we do not recommend using this tool to repair chunky knitwear, stretchy activewear, outdoor/waterproof gear or similar clothing.
 
The Speedarner mending loom will help you create a 'patch' darn also known as surface darning - think of it like patching over a hole on a pair of jeans with a scrap of fabric. Your 'patch' darn will be stitched in place on all four sides and will cover the hole by floating over the surface.
 
Made in Cornwall
Slowly handcrafted with care by us in our Cornish (U.K.) workshop using locally-sourced materials to bring you maximum mending joy. These are not just 'assembled in the U.K', we make all the parts from start to finish right here in Cornwall; well, all except the coil spring which is custom-made by a specialist U.K manufacturer.
 
Our beautiful Speedarner Mending Loom was a full 12 months in the making. Throughout this creative project we took great care to ensure we work with as many local businesses as possible (here in Cornwall & across the U.K) to support our local economy. We established some great relationships with these businesses and continue to work alongside to ensure the Speedarner is made as locally as possible.
