Wooden darning mushrooms

These traditional vintage wooden darning mushrooms are delightful tactile tools from a bygone era of domestic mending and textile care.
 
Turned from solid hardwoods, each piece features a smooth, domed cap designed to slip inside socks, sleeves, or knitwear to provide a firm, taut surface for hand-stitching and invisible repair.
 
Over decades of use, the timber has developed a warm, silky patina that highlights the natural wood grain.
 
These classic sewing haberdashery items are as decorative displayed in a bowl or sewing basket as they are useful for modern visible mending enthusiasts.
classic wooden darning mushroom (style 1): features a traditional slender handle and beautifully smooth turned head. Price £14. 
turned wooden darning mushroom (style 2): a slightly larger or distinctively shaped piece with a rich, deep timber patina. Price £16.
