Mended (socks?) (6)
I believe the answer is:
darned
'mended socks?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for darned that I've seen before include "Repaired (woollens)" , "Mended, sock say" , "Mended, socks say" , "Mended with wool and needles" , "Repaired woollen articles" .)
