Second Cashmere

Our studio is tucked away in Glasgow’s East End, a 5-min walk from Bridgeton Station (two stops from Glasgow Central). Ahead of our End of Season Sale this Friday and Saturday, 10-4pm both days. We thought we’d take a minute to show you the route from Bridgeton Station - so you don’t get lost along the way. We hope to see you this weekend!

Invisible/disguised patch darning focuses on restoring the original look (or close to) of the fabric. Matching the yarn type, colour and weave, the repair blends into the surrounding material.

The aim is subtlety — strengthening the weakened area while keeping the garment’s appearance close to unchanged. It’s a more discrete approach to darning and a careful process that extends the life of much-loved pieces.

From someone who de-bobbles/de-pills a lot of cashmere knitwear, here are my favourite tools to use to get the job done.

REMEMBER when you’re using either the rake, comb or stone, be sure to pull the tool in the direction of the knit ONLY, following the little arrows of the knit downwards. If not, you’ll get snags and create holes!

We’ll release more content next week focusing on each method and how to use them!

Visible or decorative patch darning is a way to highlight mending and make it a unique feature of a garment. Using contrasting yarns, stitches are worked over the damaged area in a simple woven structure, reinforcing the cloth while adding colour and character. It’s a reminder that repair can be an act of creativity as well as care.

We’re trying something a little different…

You can now find our secondhand cashmere knits at the beautiful , our first secondhand knitwear stockist in Scotland. We’ve created a special curation of 20 jumpers and cardigans especially for Bam’s community of gorgeous vintage and independent shoppers, bringing together pieces that reflect the extra special vibe that all Bam lovers know and adore.

Bam already stocks our cashmere accessories and homewares so was the perfect fit for this little experiment! So, what do you think? Will you pay Bam a special visit?

A quick Friday fix: Swiss darning — sometimes called invisible mending — is one of our favourite ways to repair cashmere. It’s a slow, careful technique that blends each thread back into the knit, almost like the damage was never there. We love seeing how these tiny repairs let a well-loved piece keep going just a bit longer.

What are the different ways you can mend your knitwear without over thinking it? From subtle Swiss darning to the joys of blanket stitch, it’s amazing what you can do with a needle and some thread and here are just a few of our favourite ways to get started.

We’ve written a full breakdown of these techniques in our Journal (on our website) - link in bio.
