Cashmere holes repair

Recommended Posts

Hello...can anyone recommend someone local who repairs holes in cashmere jumpers? All the ones I've found (mainly west London) seem to charge at least ?40 per hole and several weeks wait! Seems a bit steep. Ideally I'd like invisible mending but if anyone can recommend someone good they've used who doesn't cost the earth then I'd LOVE to hear from you! Thanks.

The 'Cashmends' are a brilliant idea - got to get some! Unfortunately i'd say that ?40-50 per hole is about right for proper invisible mending, which is a highly skilled job, and this place http://www.invisiblemending.co.uk/ is very, very good. They repaired a hole in a very fine knit cashmere sweater of my husbands, and genuinely, i couldn't see where the repair was at all, but it did cost ?50. Best idea is to stop 'em in their tracks before the damage is done. Pack all winter clothes away clean, and use cedar or lavender repellants as well as the pheromone moth traps (Zero Demi-diamond are good). Moths are most active in April/May when they are looking to mate and lay their eggs in some 'moth caviar' (better known as cashmere) ready for the pupae to hatch later and eat it all.
Moths like some places and not others, I'm trying to work out what it is. In East London and Elephant and Castle I was plagued by them, but in SE5 not a single one has shown an interest in entering my home, I keep my windows open at night and I don't even have to bother putting away my (two) cashmere jumpers. I am trying to work out what anti-moth properties my present house has, if I do I will post them!

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".

    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
