Types of Darns
- Plain Darn: This involves weaving thread over the damaged area to create a patch that is nearly invisible. It is used for minor holes and worn spots.
- Cross Stitch Darn: This uses a cross-stitch pattern to reinforce areas and can be decorative as well. It is often used on thicker fabrics.

- Circular Darn: This is used for round holes, where stitches are worked around the edges of the hole, pulling the fabric together.
