Because cutting it off is usually not the answer.

A compact set of four repair needles in two types, designed to take snags and pulled threads back through the fabric rather than cutting them away.

Small fix. Much better outcome.

The bit where one thread becomes the only thing you can see.

A pulled thread does not necessarily mean the garment is damaged beyond repair. Often, part of the yarn has simply been pulled to the surface.

The Pull Mender takes it back through to the reverse side, where it belongs.

How to mend a pull

  • 1. Choose your needle

    Choose the needle type that best suits the fabric.

  • 2. Lay it flat

    Place the garment flat with the snag facing up.

  • 3. Push through

    Push the appropriate needle through the centre of the snag.

  • 4. Catch the thread

    Twist the needle so the textured section catches the pulled thread.

  • 5. Draw it back

    Pull the needle through to the reverse side, taking the loose thread with it.

  • 6. Smooth

    Smooth the fabric flat and allow the weave to settle back into place.

A light steam afterwards can help the weave settle further, where appropriate for the garment.

Keep the needles dry and return them to the felt holder when you're done.

Two needle types. Four needles.

Fine
The shorter needle. For silk, chiffon and tightly woven fabrics.

Heavy
The longer needle. For chunky knits and loose weaves.

Two Fine. Two Heavy. One small kit for the pulls that happen across your wardrobe.

Four needles. One place to keep them.

Two Fine needles and two Heavy needles, kept together in their wool felt holder inside the aluminium tube, so the right tool is there when you need it.

Made to live with your clothes, not disappear at the bottom of a sewing box.

Instructions, included.

No guesswork. Every Pull Mender comes with a small how-to card folded into the tube, explaining which needle to choose and how to take a snag back through the fabric.

Questions, answered.

What does the Pull Mender do?

It takes pulled threads and snags from the surface of a garment back through to the reverse side, rather than cutting them away.

Why are there four needles?

The set contains two Fine needles and two Heavy needles, so you have the right type for different fabric weights and constructions.

Which needle should I use?

Use the shorter Fine needle for silk, chiffon and tightly woven fabrics. Use the longer Heavy needle for chunky knits and loose weaves.

Why shouldn't I cut a pulled thread?

The loose thread is still part of the garment. Cutting it removes yarn from the construction and can make a small snag harder to repair.

How do I use it?

Lay the garment flat with the snag facing up. Push the appropriate needle through the centre of the snag, twist so the textured section catches the thread, then draw the needle through to the reverse side.

What should I do afterwards?

Smooth the fabric flat. A light steam can help the weave settle further where appropriate for the garment.

How do I care for the needles?

Keep them dry and return them to the felt holder after use.

More wardrobe care.
