This is insanely satisfying to watch. I see and crochet and thought I was crafty but never really understood how to effectively use the little piece of thread included with sweaters for repairs
Das nennt man Kunststopfen, und da kann man sehen warum es so teuer ist es machen zu lassen. Ich hab es noch in der Schule gelernt und meine Mama und meine Oma waren perfekt darin. Danke Little Star 😍
It is a little latch hook - she tends to use the ones made as "needles" for knitting machines. They come in a variety of sizes and some are sold mounted in a handle while others are sold to use in the machine bed itself. I've seen similar things sold in sets for working with hair extensions/braids/dreadlocks etc. If you get them and they are not mounted in a handle do what she does and wrap the "stem" in something to make it easier to handle.
The extra wool on the left is reserved, and it is needed to darn the hole. Usually, the reserved length of wool is three times the size of the hole. After the hole is mended, if the reserved wool is not used up, you need to hook the wool into the back of the sweater with a crochet, and then weave it into the sweater along the lines of the sweater. If the reserved yarn is too long, you can cut it off. I will also post a video to explain how to operate.
I take the thread at the seam of the sweater. Generally, the thread here is the same as that of the sweater. The part to be sutured shall be sutured with other suture.
Great video! Just wondering - what brand repair needle with latch are you using? I’m wondering where I can find one in such a small size - I have a very fine merino sweater that I need to mend. Thanks!

Hard to follow… don’t know what type of needle you are using… at times it feels like maybe there are two types. It would have been good to have some instructions written on the type of needles
