speedweve-style darning loom

DMC embroidery floss

$4 btw and every craft store has it, six strands split easy for finer mends

Cosmo embroidery floss

harder to find in the us and like 3x the price but the sheen is unreal, worth ordering online for anything visible on a jacket

wooden darning egg

curved upholstery needles

Clover Wonder Clips

small embroidery scissors

still going strong after like 4 years, keep them only for thread or they go dull fast

iron-on mending tape

good for a quick fix before you get around to actually mending it. definitly a temporary fix, not forever

waxed linen thread
