well, a quick google search has turned up the fact that the people that made the video sell them - here  Very Happy  Only £2.95 each.  Mind you, it's £4.50 for P&P though up to £80  Shocked  maybe we should consider a bulk order?  Actually, that looks like a very interesting company, have bookmarked it for a good look later on.

Personally I like Linz's approach!  Or perhaps someone here with a partner into woodworking could branch out into making them?

Edited to add - didn't someone got a modern one in the Secret Santa last year?  So perhaps they are still being made by someone like Prym or Inox  Confused  Edited again, yeah it's Prym - the only UK-based one I can find is here , no price displayed though.  But at least we know they're out there  Very Happy

Just in case anyone's still looking, John Lewis have darning mushrooms, the Prym ones painted to look like a toadstool.  £2.95.  I bought one at the store on Oxford Street in London last week  Very Happy
