The darning needle is a longer sewing needle with a bigger eye that allows several threads to be threaded, including the wool thread frequently used for darning, such as wool socks.
Darning is the technique of filling a hole in a garment. This filling is done to weave fabric into the hole rather than closing it. Indeed, if there's a hole, it's because the container isn't suited to the content. For a tear, you can close the fabric edge to edge, but for a hole, darning is recommended. If you reseal a hole created by pressure - as is well known with toe holes in tights or socks - it will reopen. With the darning technique, however, your repair will be long-lasting.
Astro Couture darning needles are practical, elegant needles with a gold eye for easy visual identification. The numbering corresponds to the size of each needle, with n°1/0 being the longest and thickest and n°9 the shortest and thinnest in the series. Sizes 1/0 to 5 correspond to thick fabrics, sizes 6 to 8 to medium fabrics and size 9 to fine fabrics.
