The broken thread (yarn) is pulled back and locked into place. A new piece of yarn is “stolen” from the sweater, usually from side seams. The new thread is knitted into the sweater. Depending on the color of the sweater, the reknit is as good as new, or may look slightly heavy. If we cannot take yarn from the garment, we will find (or shop for) the best match possible.

Notice in the photos below how the hole in the knit is repaired with almost no visible sign of the repair.
