My mom passed down a darning ball made by my Great great Grandpa and I have thin spots in my favorite socks, so I thought I'd give it a try. I obviously pulled it too tight, but they're definitely wearable now and it only took about an hour while watching TV. Wouldn't do it for cotton Hanes socks, but I'll keep it handy for my wool (or wool-ish) socks. Pretty cool to use something handed down so many generations, too.
