A moth hole in a favourite jumper feels like a small disaster — but it is one of the most fixable problems there is.

Reweaving, thread by thread

Invisible reweaving rebuilds the knit using matching yarn, following the original stitch pattern until the hole simply disappears. Catch it small and the repair is almost undetectable.

Good to know

Store clean wool in breathable bags with cedar or lavender. Moths are drawn to worn fibres, so a wash before summer storage is your best defence.
