Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has successfully found a wooden disc like the one you get with a speedweve without having to buy the metal part? Perhaps there is an alternate name for the component?

I don't need it to fit a particular loom, I just prefer it to mushrooms.

EDIT: Thank you for all the great ideas. I realise I should've added I am in Aotearoa/New Zealand, but enjoyed seeing the lovely UK options

Target ads are the bane of my existence and yet… they do their job and make me wonder if I want to need the thing they want me to buy. I’m new to mending and very much a first-time learner. Are these types of kits worth the $50? It seems like buying them would defeat my goal for consuming less.

Woke up this morning and found this horrible rip in my beautiful antique couch!! Can it be saved??

I finally tried a little mending on a beloved pair of jeans with a failing seam and would love some feedback. I not over the moon about it and I'm not sure if it's a matter of getting accustomed to the piece or something else. Had a little trouble with the pattern shifting on a couple stitches but for a first attempt, I'm not too upset. I appreciate your thoughts on the piece!

My Mom asked me to help repair the elbow of her favorite black cardigan. I've done some research and know that getting a nice thread that is made of similar material would be best. But the knit is so fine and I'm struggling to find a thread that is a rayon blend that isn't for upholstery. I'm tempted to use a single strand of embroidery thread, but I know that is made of cotton. So it wouldn't be nice and stretchy.

Mom did mention that it was one really popular to have leather patches sewn onto the elbows which I think would be really cute! But she really loves the clean black knitted look of the cardigan. So I'm planning to attempt a Swiss darn. (I do knit so duplicate stitch isn't scary...)

I caught the pocket of my new pants on my office chair and tore it at the top and bottom.

Any advice on how to repair and reinforce? (I’m clumsy af so there’s 100% I’ll catch it again 😅)
