08 / Common questions
Will it work for my repair?
Can I fix a hole in my jeans or sweater?
Yes. Start with a small hole or worn spot in denim, knitwear or sturdy woven fabric. The fabric should lie flat over the wooden disk, with enough intact fabric around the hole to hold the stitches.
Can I use it if I’ve never mended anything?
Yes. The hooks hold the threads in place while you weave across them with the needle. Follow the four illustrated steps and try your first patch on a scrap of fabric.
How do I know if my hole is too big?
Check whether the whole hole and a border of intact fabric fit over the disk and within the width of the hooks. If the tear extends past that area or the fabric around it keeps fraying, use a larger fabric patch.
What comes in each kit?
Each kit comes with a 14-hook loom, a wooden support disk, needles and starter thread. Choose a bundle of 1, 2 or 3 complete kits.
How do I get the free thread pack?
It’s included automatically. Each bundle comes with one free 24-piece Scandinavian Colours thread pack, whether you choose 1, 2 or 3 kits.
Will I be able to see the patch?
Yes, the woven patch adds texture. Use thread close to the fabric color for a subtle repair, or choose a contrasting color to make the patch stand out. You can also weave a small design on intact fabric.
Can I wash the garment after mending it?
Secure the loose thread ends first. Then follow the care instructions for both the garment and the thread you used. If they differ, use the gentler setting.
