STOCKmG DARNING*
A hole in a stocking Ls repaired by a woven darn. lo place
of being woven in a loom as cloth is, st^^ckinet Ls made on a
knitting machine and consists of a series of interlocked loops of
a continuous thread or yarn. In darning, the loose loops should
be caught to prevent further raveling.
Method of stocking darning.
Guide timfor the stitches, — As a guide line for the work, outline with baffl-
ing the space to be danic<L Make the darn diamond-shaped^ large enough
to reinforce all the weakened part surrounding the hole.
Materials to he u»td, — Use darning cotton to match the color and the
size of the yarn in the stocking. Fur the average weight stocking^ except
thin lisle and silk, two strands of the ordinary four-ply darning cotton Is
used. Use a needle which is just large enough to carr>' the threa^d, and
do not knot the thread. If the hule is too large to hold over the first two
fingers of the left hand, a daming-ball may be placed inside of the stocking.
Be very careful in using a darner, however, not to stretch the edges of the
hole,
IjtnglhtiHse doming slitrhn. — Darning is done on the right side of the
stocking. Start at the right side of the hole Just iniiide the basting which
serves as a guide hne, I*ut in first the lengthwise stitches (those parallel
to the ritj8 in the stocking), using short, running Htitch(*s. In turning
from one row of stitches to the next, loops must Iw left in the darning
cotton to allow for the |>uasible stretching of the stocking and the shrinkage
due to washing. When the hole is reiiched^ take up on the needle the
loose loop at the edge to strengthen the darn and carry the thread across
the hole, taking up the loop opposite. Continue until the incloeed area
is filled with these lengthwise stitches.
