Mending cashmere

[schmalex]

A moth has had lunch on my favourite Chinti & Parker sweater. Can anyone recommend somewhere that does invisible mending please? There doesn't seem to be anywhere local to me so I think I will have to post it off somewhere.

If you look up Nearly New Cashmere on Instagram, they posted about how to mend holes in cashmere just today! It's a really simple technique and I'm going to try it myself tomorrow on a much-loved piece that got munched on by the Very Hungry Moth . They're a great account to follow anyway and share lots of repair/care/dyeing techniques as well as selling some lovely knits.

That was a useful video thank you @EdinaMonsoon

Hi, I repaired some cashmere using the needle felting method. Lots of tutorials online. It was far more successful and ‘invisible’ than darning the hole.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!
