Inweaving is used for most repairs. It can be done in much larger areas. The method used is to take a piece of cloth from some hidden area of the garment, unravel the edges and weave each separate thread into the cloth over the hole. Afterward, the new piece of cloth is anchored to the garment so it can’t be pulled out. This type of repair can also be quite invisible but certain patterns and types of wool will not weave well. Gaberdine is one of the worst and I do not reweave gaberdine as 9 times out of 10 the customer is very dissatisfied. Also, many garments are disqualified for this repair as there is no excess material hidden anywhere. Places the material can be found are: inside pockets, at the back of the neck or interior of the jacket, in the zipper area, or inside of cuffs. This type of weave can also be quite invisible but not as much as thread weaving. As I am weaving a square piece of cloth over the damage there is a faint outline of the square around the repair. Often this line sinks into the cloth and is not noticeable. If the wool is very hard and tight it is more likely to show the line. In the example of gaberdine, the line is extremely noticeable. Most wools lend well to type of repair though and often seem to completely disappear.
