Review on 🧵 Dritz Clothing Care 82626 Darning Egg, Black: The Perfect Tool for Mending and Sewing Clothing" by Carol Miller

I grew up with Dritz sewing tools and expected them to be just as high quality. It wasn't like that. When I was looking for a darning egg, I knew I wanted a wooden one. Plastic is too easy to puncture or scratch with a needle and cannot be repaired. So, I was very happy to find this. However, when it arrived there was a large splinter hanging from the side and a chunk protruding from the handle. I don't know what her quality control criteria are, but she couldn't meet that. Revain kindly replaced the product. It was slightly better, but it wasn't properly sealed and had a rough spot on one side. This is easily fixed with 220 grit sandpaper, but I don't have to. In my experience, it's unlikely that any other replacement would be much better. I would recommend if you need a darning egg look for one before you buy it. It may serve your purpose, but it certainly doesn't live up to the standards of what's in your mom's sewing box.
