darnable

Able to patch

Darnable describes something that can be darned—repaired by weaving thread across a hole or worn spot in fabric: These old wool socks are still darnable.

The word also serves as a mild substitute for damnable, expressing annoyance without the profanity: That darnable cat knocked over my coffee again.
