The fake leather on my headphones started flaking off. The pads wouldn't come off without ungluing, so I used a thick needle and yarn to wrap the padding.

This is so smart! I'm getting tired of replacing the foam pieces. They always end up shedding in a year or two. What's the fiber content of your yarn?

Honestly not sure, it came from my stash unlabeled. It feels like a wool blend.

Yeah, looks like sock wool. Nice!
