Mended a hole with needle and thread (6)

I believe the answer is:

darned

(Other definitions for darned that I've seen before include "Mended, socks say" , "Mended with wool and needles" , "Repaired (eg, socks)" , "Repaired (woollens)" , "example of euphemism" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
