Cashmere Sweaters Have Wormholes, Learn This Method and Become New! Awesome!

[@SewingBoxDesigns]

I know this is a year late, but it might help those who buy new sweaters. At the end of the season, put your natural wool and cashmere garments in the freezer for a day or two, then a plastic bag, to store. A vacuum seal bag is extra good. This method kills any larvae that might have been laid (which eats the holes, and crickets will, too) and protects the garment until the next season. Lavender and cedar work so-so, but the freezer method always works!

[@jemandjemand2362]

only if you live in a jungle or a cellar. i never got any insects in my cashmere. i use sandalwood and lavender to prevent it from happening

[@muriellecomtesse5206]

Merci pour ce conseil avisé : je m'en souviendrai. Excellent!! 👍👌👌👏👏

[@Caeline]

Vielen Dank für dieses ausführliche Viedeo, Sie sind sehr geschickt, tolle Reparatur. Ob ich das hinbekomme bezweifle ich. Dankeschön

[@flower-ss2jt]

That is what I do each year, wash then freeze every cashmere item for 2 weeks, then store in plastic bag - great tip.

[@debbieeckenrode3848]

Thanks for the tip. I will try it this year!!

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

Like magic. I know I'd never figure out how you've done it so seamlessly. Simply beautiful.

You make this look so easy...I don't expect my results will be anything close! But thank you a million for this well-done instructional.

[@lizzymueller3604]

I am sure it's just a matter of exersice, you can do it! 😊

[@alisonbamford6723]

Awesome repair. However finding a yarn that actually matches in content, weight & colour is one of the hardest parts of doing any repair like this.

[@Woodlawn22]

I know, right? I pictured she would shorten the sleeves to 3/4 or something like that in order to harvest the yarn for repairs. But no. There's just this handy yarn lying around that is an exact match! Oh well. The techniques are good to know about and I thank Sunny TV for that.

[@wolfiesownx4893]

I was thinking the same. Have been looking for the right yarn forever

[@Woodlawn22]

@@wolfiesownx4893 You might try looking at the seams. If the sweater was seamed and not serged (where the knit would have been cut as it was sewn by machine) and you are desperate, it's possible that the same yarn was used in seaming. Wishing you a Christmas miracle that this is the case!

[@ellieisbusy]

I’d avoid the problem altogether by doing visible mending… but I know that’s not everyone’s preference.

[@alisonbamford6723]

@@ellieisbusy yes. I’d probably embroider little flowers or something to make it look as though it’s part of the design….

[@m.theresa1385]

Thank you for your demonstration. My favorite (very expensive) cardigan wrap developed many holes over the winter. I gave up on matching the yarn and instead stitched them in brilliant red and added some patches to the elbows. It’s now a great house sweater. (I’ll add pockets to it for next winter.)

Duh, lol and extra buttons.

But out of five cashmere sweaters I own, and probably more than that my sister has, only one has had the handy little scrap of yarn. There was less than a metre so it's only enough to do maybe five or six holes maximum.

[@carolahenker2852]

😂❤

[@TH-eb5ro]

I learned to do this when I was a kid but have only done it a few times. I have recently bought darning thread, needles again. There is a place in Memphis TN called Hines and it was seeing their work, reviews that made me curious again. That method look so much better than when I do it with thread.

Great technique ! Prevent this by mopping your floors with natural liquid soap and add essential cedar oil (basil, lavender and orange can be mixed in as well). Both keep the critters away! Keep your sweaters hung on soft velvet hangers or in drawers with lavender pouches (moths hate it). Cedar marbles and disks wuth holes in for hangers can be "recharged" with essential cedar oil, just keep in an airtight bag for a few days first to let the oils get properly absorbed. ALL this has the added bonus of being environmentally friendly, of conditioning and treating wood floors ibstead of dring them out like generic floor detergents, and being perfectly child and pet safe as well as discouraging dustmites, ants and other insects thanks to the tree sap in liquid soap (if you get that kind) and the properties of these essential oils. I even found planting basil with flowers or strawberries prone to being eaten by unelwanted critters solves the problem!
