How Do You Repair A Moth Eaten Sweater?
If your sweater has substantial moth damage, your best bet will be to have it professionally reknit. In this process, knitters will remove some threads from the seam or other part of the sweater and knit them in by hand, thread by thread. Step 1 Look in the Yellow Pages under Weaving and Mending for a local connection to someone who will reknit or reweave your sweater. You might also find a talented knitter through church groups or at a local senior center. Step 2 Using a large needle and two- or three-ply yarn, simply cover over the flaw in the sweater by stitching from edge to edge of the moth hole. Use embroidery stitches if you want to create a flower or other object. Step 3 Use a fabric bonding agent to fix smaller holes. By following instructions exactly, you can do a nice repair job without needing to hire a knitter.
