Worth Mending — Handcrafted Darning Looms at Muskoka Fibrefest 2026

Worth Mending might be the most useful booth at Muskoka Fibrefest 2026 — and that’s not a slight on any of the yarn vendors.

The Swift Darning Loom — Handcrafted in Kitchener, Ontario

Elysha makes the Swift Darning Loom: a handcrafted mending tool built from reclaimed hardwood and stainless steel bicycle spokes at the Kwartzlab Makerspace in Kitchener, Ontario. It’s designed to make darning fast, tidy, and genuinely satisfying — the kind of tool that turns a pile of holey socks from a guilty backlog into an enjoyable evening project.

With 14 hooks and a rectangular work surface, the Swift Darning Loom creates a woven patch that’s flat, clean, and strong, and it doubles as a small freestanding weaving loom.

Sustainable Mending — Nothing Is Disposable

The ethos behind Worth Mending is straightforward: nothing is disposable. Elysha uses reclaimed materials throughout — the wood often from old furniture, the hooks from salvaged bicycle spokes.
