DARNING Swiss darning on socks

Post image

My Gramma made me these socks, and I’m determined to keep them in good repair so I can wear them for a long time.

I’m now to this sub, so I’m still learning. What did you use to repair them? Pieces of yarn?

Edit: forgot to mention they look great!

I used Drops Fabel yarn - they have some VERY colourful yarn and it’s very affordable and hard wearing!
