Here at MM, our Mending Macarons have become incredibly popular gifts - and we’re not surprised, these hand-crafted darning disks are such useful repair tools.
 
To make gifting these beautiful tools even more special, we’ve put together 'The Ultimate Mending Macaron Kit'.
 
Packed inside a Ministry of Mending gift box full of eco zig-zag shred, you’ll find a MINI & a MEGA Mending Macaron, a selection of cotton threads & yarns of your choice and our needle set for beginners contained inside a handy storage tube with cork stopper.
 
The whole box is tied off with a stunning wool selvedge ribbon, making it a perfect gift or simply use this sturdy box to safely store all your mending bits 'n bobs when not in use.
 
Our Mending Macaron tool* is just like a standard darning mushroom, but the absence of a stem allows you to mend hard-to-reach areas such as: pockets, sleeves, socks, cuffs, narrow trouser legs including skinny jeans & leggings and smaller areas on kids clothing.
 
It also gives you the option to stitch hands-free - rest it on the table or your lap and give your arms a break whilst you mend.
 
Every single Mending Macaron is hand-turned here in Cornwall (U.K) using FSC certified oak and comes complete with one of our custom-made stainless steel springs.
 
The MINI size is perfect for repairing small holes (up to 60mm/2 1/2" in diameter) and fixing issues in hard-to-reach areas such as: pockets, sleeves, socks and cuffs.
 
In contrast, the MEGA disk (basically a much bigger version of the MINI disk) can be used for mending much larger holes up to 90mm/3 1/2" in diameter.
