When you darn your socks, what kind of thread do you use?

 

Nice play on words.

 

Who darns socks these days?

 

You use darning thread.

What implement (not the needle ) did your mother USE to darn your socks in the 50's What material was it made of?

 

A Darning Mushroom, of course. Made of Beech wood in the 1950s, then replaced by plastic moulded ones.

Hard to believe my attempt at a double pun would lead to all this!

 

Well, you see....all of us don't have the Dark Side Fight and a snazzy power-flipping-folding metal top to keep us entertained

 

OK, here you go (ralpher was probably wanting to see this....in view of his textile background )



On this website, you can order one of these (complete with dents from use, etc) for only $8.00 + s/h

Btw, for all of you who were wondering, the handle is normally removable...
.....in case you want to leave only the egg in the chicken's........er,

 

Actually Jerry, I'm the only one who caught onto the play on words.
