Scanfil mending wool is a reliable, versatile repair yarn designed for everyday mending and creative stitching. Made in the Netherlands from a durable blend of 55% wool and 45% nylon, it delivers the strength of traditional sock yarn in a fine 2-ply construction. Each plastic-free card contains 15 metres, making it ideal for both small touch-ups and more involved projects.
This yarn is perfect for darning socks and other thin-to-medium weight knitwear, whether you prefer invisible fixes or bold, decorative visible mending. It also works beautifully for reinforcing high-wear areas such as heels and toes when knitting socks, and can be held together with sock yarn for added durability. Beyond repairs, it is handy for sewing on buttons, button making, toy making, embroidery and general hand-stitching where a strong, slightly textured thread is needed.
The colour range includes vibrant brights, classic uniform colours and easy neutrals, with 30 shades available to suit every wardrobe and mend. Dye lots vary significantly across batches, so if you are planning a larger repair or have a favourite shade, it is best to buy multiple cards at once. I photograph all colours myself and will always send matching dye lots when packing your order.
