Darning is the act of repairing a torn or worn out piece of cloth by hand, in which new threads are woven into the old. The point of this is to create a stronger fabric to extend its life. It is an act of care. In this zine, you will find a collection of conversations, stories, and tutorials about darning—from the literal sense (teaching you how to fix a hole with thread), to the abstract (by weaving new systems of connection across cultures). Many thanks to the contributors—and to you!—for sharing and learning from these acts of care.
