SWEATER REPAIR : FULLY RENOVATE YOUR SWEATERS AND MAKE THEM AS GOOD AS NEW.

Our sweater repair service provides you with seamless repairs

We handle repairs of various sweater fabrics like:

WOOL, COTTON, CASHMERE, MERINO WOOL, ALPACA

Aside from covering multiple fabrics, our experts also utilize multiple repair methods:

REWEAVING: This technique involves meticulously weaving new threads into the damaged area to recreate the original fabric pattern. It’s often used for repairing small holes and tears.

DARNING: Darning involves stitching over holes or thinning areas using a needle and thread to reinforce the fabric and prevent further damage.

SEAM REPAIR: If seams are unraveling or coming apart, they may need to be re-sewn to reinforce the structure of the sweater.

SWEATER REPAIR : BEFORE & AFTER

Here’s a great example of our work. The garment pictured above was sent with a request to repair the moth holes . The piece was a high quality garment by Tom Ford that featured multiple holes throughout the garment including the body and the button bands.

Our experts harvested yarn from the piece itself for an exact yarn match and reknit each hole by hand providing for perfect tension and perfect repair. At the end, we were able to restore the garment to its original state.
