Fine dress socks are, by design, fine, and that means that they will inevitably wear holes regardless of how well you take care of them. Our darning egg can be used to quickly and easily mend - or darn - your socks. Used to fill the surface that needs mending and for the needle to slide against, a darning egg makes repairing your socks easy! You'll enjoy the satisfaction of saving a perfectly good pair of luxury socks from the trash bin!
