Sandy's Tip ~
Have you ever noticed that white garments tend to yellow with age? This is especially true with natural fibers like wool, cashmere and cotton. A garment can be free of other damage but the yellowing can make it look shabby. One way to preserve white items is to store them wrapped in acid free tissue. Acid free boxes are also available and can be found online. These acid free items are also great for storing collectables like antique linens, dolls and other such keepsakes..
Quality of service
is our guiding principle.
Hello,
If you have a wool or cashmere sweater in need of repair, you have come to the right place. We work exclusively on knit clothing made from natural fibers.
For over 30 years we have provided quality repair and alteration of knit clothing to stores and retail customers. Our skills and experience with machine made knits are unique in today's garment repair and reweaving services.
Fine wool, cashmere and other natural fiber sweaters can be repaired and altered with great success! This includes brand names like Loro Piana, Dale of Norway, Hermes, White and Warren and many more.
Repairs are generally made by expert reknitting with yarn from the garment, which produces excellent results. Check out our Sweater Repair page for more on how repairs are made and cost information.
Alteration of sweater sleeves and hems happen every week here at Knit Alteration & Design. When done, the items look just like they did originally, they are just the right length! For more about how alterations are made and the average costs, see our Knit Alterations page.
