Finishing and Repair services include seaming, blocking, sewing buttons on, fixing moth holes, pet damage and general wear. Hand knits only, no commercial garments.

Quotes are based on the detail and complexity of the work.

Finishing and Blocking 

Seaming, weaving in ends (more than 6-8 per project will incur a fee), sewing on buttons, includes blocking. Minimum fee: $30.

Minimum quote for blocking only is $20. Larger projects and those that require substantial pinning will incur a higher quote.

Repair

Moth holes, snags, worn elbows and frayed cuffs can all be repaired. 

Fine gauge, very dark colors, textured stitches such as lace and cables, and colorwork are all more complex to repair, so expect a higher quote. All items must be clean and moth free. If any of the original yarn and/or the pattern is available please bring that along with the item to be mended.
