For darning socks?

 

[dm65]

You know those lumps that the missus leaves on you when she tells you off ? is it for flattening them ?

It's a Darning Mushroom. The Needles are stored in the handle.

It's the first of several ordered, another slightly bigger on the go at the moment.

There was a bit of a clue in the post title, which I guess was intentional.

Are the brass fittings special or modified plumbing joints?

I've used something like this in the past. The one I bought had a knurled lock-nut rather than a hex one. I made it a very tight fit and epoxied it in.

 

[CHJ]

Number two, just a little bigger.
Walnut 90mm dia.

Your wife must be the last person in the universe to darn socks ! :shock:

 

[CHJ]

These are to order, I believe they will be used to aid fabric repairs and conservation on wool/tapestry embroidery.

 

[Dangermouse]

And there's me thinking you had 'er in doors locked away in the attic darning all the local waifs and strays socks in time for Xmas.
