Can moth holes be repaired?
Moth holes can sometimes be repaired by reweaving, but before starting the repair process, it would be a good idea to first have the article dry cleaned. Dry cleaning will kill and remove any unseen insect larvae and should flush out any loose fibers revealing the full extent of the insect damage. Reweaving involves weaving yarns by hand into the damaged areas to replace the missing yarns. Yarns used for reweaving are taken from an inconspicuous part of the garment or from an outside source. It’s a tedious process and can be expensive. Reweaving is also something of a lost art, but if you want to know more about this service, please ask us.
