knitwear MENDING OPTIONS
Please see below for some examples of the kind of repair services we offer on knitwear. If there’s a particular style of mending or colourway, please let us know. We love a celebratory visible mend but if you’d prefer an invisible one, that’s okay too! Contact us to get a quote or to book a repair and we’ll get back to you shortly to save your stitches!
1) Visible Mending with Weaving
1.1 This hat got stuck in some bike spokes and needed some quick repair. The visible mending technique used here is a weaving method on the surface of the yarn, keeping the stitches in place and creating a new feature and style to the hat!
1.2 This scarf had a yarn break and had started to unravel so a little weaved window was darned on to keep it together.
2) Visible Mending with Duplicate Stitching
2.1 Some moths were snacking on these tasty pair of socks. Using a duplicate stitch technique, the original stitch was sewn up and overlaid with a different colour yarns for a fresh new look!
2.2 As well as repairing a tear or hole in a garment, visible duplicate stitching can be used to cover an unsightly stain.This lovely aran had an unfortunate encounter with a stove so we darned over the burn mark in contrast wool to make this a one of it’s kind aran jumper!
2.3 Duplicate stitching is a great mending tool for repairing holes or covering up stains, but can also be purely decorative! This was once a plain white aran jumper that has gotten a colourful transformation. Have a look at our upcycling portfolio for more duplicate stitch options!
3) Invisible Mending
3.1 This cashmere jumper had come away at the neckline seam. We found a good colour match to create an invisible mend and restored it to it’s former glory!
3.2 This jumper started to bust at the armpits which is a common issue, but always mends up nicely!
3.3 Another common area of wear and tear is at the cuff, on this jumper the rib stitch had unravelled completely so we reknit it to bring it back to it’s original look.
