It’s black and yellow plastic, and the handle is pretty nifty as it unscrews to hold your needles and stuff. It makes darning SO much easier It’s had a lot of use over the years – my Mum mending the holes in our woolly jumpers, and then me darning my school tights. Even now I dig it out to use – you know, when you buy that expensive pair of fancy tights and on the first day you wear them you put your big toe through the end….
