A high-speed video of darning.

The camera is fixed over a piece of knitting with a hole in. A needle is used to sew a fine thread in a series of tall stitches across the hole. Yarn matching the original is carefully sewn around this scaffold to recreate each missing knitted stitch in turn. Finally, the fine threads are cut and pulled out with tweezers. The hole is repaired so neatly it is impossible to see where it was.

Wow! That is incredible. I have a vintage sweater that has a few holes in it. I’d love for it to be repaired. One day soon, I hope.

@LateNite I once had my favourite sweater eaten by moths. After cleaning, I closed the holes by #VisibleMending which is easier because everybody can do it without knowing techniques. I used coloured silk patches and "wild" #embroidery ... and even embroidered some #moths flying between the holes. 😁
