HOW TO : HAVE YOUR WOOLEN CLOTHES REWOVEN
The question of how to have alterations done on your wardrobe has an obvious answer: See a tailor. But after you have avoided mothballs in your closet, what do you do about those suits, skirts and sweaters that have been a feast for moths undaunted by cedar bars and lavender potpourri? Dry cleaners are sometimes willing to attempt to repair the damage done, but the results are not guaranteed. Only one shop, Knitwear Doctor, solely specializes in reweaving, custom knitting and alteration of knitted garments. These tailors claim professional quality in their reweaving.
