We also like using Darning Discs, which is available on:

• Etsy Search for Darning Discs as some small businesses and woodturners make them.
• Slow Stitch club, plus other darning equipment.
• Sewing Gem: Great supplies for Darning including a darning disc.

Ministry of Mending, 6, Kingsley Court, Fraddon, St Columb, Cornwall, TR9 6PD
We are big fans of the Ministry of mending. Although not local its a small business focused on mending and equipment. Our favorites are their darning discs which are great for darning most items and easier to use than a mending mushroom or embroidery hoop. They also have kits, recycled yarns and speedweve if you want to go up a level in your mending.

Good luck with getting all your supplies and if you need help with your mending, have a look at our Guides and tips.
