Darning Loom - Imitation of SpeedWeve

Use a darning loom to repair your textiles with a woven patch.

The textile in need of repair sits over a disk-shaped darning surface secured with a spring, and a bank of hooks slips into a slot at the top. The warp thread is anchored along the bottom edge of the damaged area using a needle and then looped around a corresponding hook at the top. This anchoring and looping is repeated until the width of the damaged area is covered. The hooks holding the warp can be flipped left or right to raise alternate threads (changing the shed), enabling you to pass the needle containing your weft through in one motion left or right, like a shuttle. The handy device speeds up darning and allows for experimentation with weave designs.
