What Types of Knitted
Items Do We Repair?

We restore a variety of knit garments with precision and attention to detail. Each repair is designed to seamlessly integrate with the fabric, maintaining the garment’s original structure, texture, and polished look. From luxury wool sweaters to vintage cashmere pieces, our expert techniques bring knitwear back to its best condition. By carefully matching fibers, textures, and colors, we ensure that every repair is virtually undetectable and preserves the integrity of the original design.

Moth Hole Repair

Moth holes are a common issue for wool and cashmere, but they don’t have to ruin your knitwear. With advanced repair techniques, AlterKnit seamlessly restores damaged areas, ensuring the fabric blends naturally while maintaining the garment’s original structure and look. Instead of retiring your favorite pieces due to damage, expert restoration brings them back to their best condition.

Sweater Repairs

Premium wool and knitwear can stretch, fray, or develop snags over time, altering their fit and overall look. AlterKnit specializes in restoring high-end knitwear and designer garments, ensuring they maintain their original texture and structure. Each repair is expertly executed to reinforce the garment while preserving its sophisticated and polished appearance.

Cashmere Sweater Restoration

Cashmere is valued for its unmatched softness and sophistication, but its delicate fibers can wear down over time. Holes, snags, and thinning areas can diminish its refined appearance. Instead of opting for quick fixes, professional restoration at Alterknit preserves the fabric’s smooth texture, elegance, and durability, ensuring your cashmere remains as luxurious as ever.

Worldwide Shipping
