Reweaving or reknitting is an old art, and some secrecy has always surrounded it. In olden days reweaving or reknitting was practiced only by the master craftsman handed down through their families. These families guarded their secret closely because it is their important means of livelihood. They were proud of their knowledge and their skills. They pass their secrets only to those people who they believed were most sincere and most able to carry on their tradition of the fine workmanship. The only exceptions were people who paid huge sums of money in order to receive knowledge of the art. Every novice reweaver had to spend years as an apprentice. Today, as a result of modernization, the fine hand skill of reweaving has almost become lost. Therefore there is only few people having the knowledge and the skills to perform this very old art of fabric repair/ reweaving.

Most of the garments we repair have damage resulted from the moth. When a garment is hung in a closet for storage, moths find a nesting place on the wool or silk or cashmere.etc. The wool is a very nice food for the moth and their babies when they hatch. Cashmere is especially vulnerable, because moths are attracted to the finer fibers of this type of wool.

PREVENTION

The best defense is a good offense. ALWAYS HAVE YOUR GARMENTS CLEANED before store it. In addition to cleaning, storing your garments in an environment that is dry and smells with cedar scent will keep moths away. Cedar chips or blocks will do the trick. Be aware that when the cedar looses its scent its effectiveness for repelling moths is also lost. Cedar chips or blocks or similar products with the same functions can be purchased at many department store or supermarket or chemical shop.
