🧶 June Repair Theme – Darning Woollens 🧦
Got a favourite jumper, cardigan, scarf or pair of socks with a small hole or worn patch?
This month at Repair Café Greater Bunbury we're highlighting the traditional skill of darning woollens. Instead of throwing away well-loved winter items, learn how simple repairs can extend their life and keep them in use for years to come.
Darning is a practical and sustainable way to:
🧶 Repair small holes in knitwear
🧶 Strengthen worn areas before they become larger problems
🧶 Extend the life of quality woollen garments
🧶 Reduce textile waste going to landfill
🧶 Learn a useful repair skill from experienced volunteers
Bring along your woollen jumpers, cardigans, socks, beanies or scarves and chat with our volunteers about whether they can be repaired.
Every item repaired is one less item thrown away. ♻️
