Our Knit Repair & Restoration Services
Moth Damage & Hole Repair
Moths are a knitwear’s worst enemy, but we specialize in restoring moth-eaten sweaters, scarves, and other knits. Using a painstaking hand-weaving technique, we fill in holes while preserving the original yarn and texture of the fabric.
Pull & Snag Correction
Even the finest knits can snag on jewelry or rough surfaces, leading to pulled loops and uneven stitching. Our repair specialists rework these snags back into the fabric to restore a smooth, even surface.
Pilling & Fabric Refreshing
Over time, friction can cause pilling and fuzz buildup, making even high-end knitwear look old and worn out. We carefully remove pills and restore the smooth, polished look of your garment without damaging the delicate fibers.
Knit Tailoring for a Perfect Fit
Whether you need sleeves shortened, hems adjusted, or an oversized sweater resized, SewRob can tailor your knits to fit you flawlessly. We also offer a blocking process to gently reshape knits that have stretched or lost their structure.
Protecting Your Knits from Future Damage
Moth Prevention & Cleaning Recommendations
If your knits have been affected by moths, we strongly recommend dry cleaning before repairs to prevent further damage. While SewRob does not offer dry cleaning, we partner with McCormick Brothers for expert garment care.
Moth-Resistant Storage Solutions
After repair, we offer protective moth-proof storage bags to help keep your sweaters safe when not in use.
Getting an Estimate for Knit Repairs
Due to the complexity of knit repairs, providing an accurate estimate based on photos alone can be challenging. The best way to determine repair costs is to send your garment in for an evaluation.
Send Us Your Knits
Simply ship your item to us along with our Repair Worksheet and Repair Spec Sheet, and we’ll assess the damage and provide a repair quote.
Honest Repair vs. Replacement Advice
If the damage is extensive, we’ll help you determine whether repair or replacement is the better option. Our goal is to provide the best value for your garment’s longevity.
Why Choose SewRob for Knit Repairs?
Your knits deserve expert care—let SewRob bring them back to life!
Because moth damage is often a symptom of what’s happening where knits are stored, we also talk clients through prevention that targets the source rather than just the visible holes. Some people ask about using a broad-spectrum anthelmintic prescribed for pets as a “hack” to stop moths, but that’s exactly the kind of shortcut that creates unnecessary exposure and doesn’t solve the textile problem. Those medicines are designed for internal parasites, not insects in wardrobes, and using them off-label can introduce residues on fabrics and in enclosed closets where people breathe and handle garments daily, read full guide about purchasing vermox. Even when the intent is protective, mixing pharmaceuticals into home storage is a compliance and safety issue, especially around children, sensitive skin, and shared living spaces. Effective moth control is procedural: clean the garment, remove food sources for larvae, reduce humidity, isolate affected items, and use textile-safe deterrents in properly sealed storage. When prevention is handled correctly, our repairs last longer because you aren’t returning to the same underlying infestation cycle. That way, “restore and protect” stays literal clean methods, predictable results, and no hidden risks woven into your wardrobe care routine.
