Invisible mending service for moth holes in cashmere

Can any one recommend an invisible mender for cashmere sweaters? Either postal or somewhere in London would be great.

TIA

I recently taught myself to darn (good old YouTube!) after I tore a hole in a precious scarf. Hugely satisfying. Could that be an option?

Sorry I don't have any recommendations though.

I haven't used her services but follow Alexandra Brinck on Instagram. Her invisible mending mesmerises me. London based too!

You could mend it by felting I believe, which anyone could do. Sugru have a felting kit with different colours of wool.

www.nearlynewcashmere.co.uk/pages/cashmere-repair-service worth a look at.

Not sure I can be bothered with trying to mend the holes myself (especially with my dreadful needlework skills), but thanks for suggesting! I am sure someone else will find those suggestions useful.

Alexandra Brinck and the Nearly New Cashmere clinic both look promising so I will check those out.

Felting just involves stabbing a little bit of wool with a special needle - it's really clever, it bonds the wool to itself and to the wool of your item.
