cowichan sweater repairs

i love working on cowichan sweaters. it’s incredibly special to be trusted with the repair of such beautiful pieces. in most of my repair work i go for visible mends, but with cowichan mends i tend to use lower-contrast yarns when possible. i even have my own cowichan, handed down from a family member, and it’s a treasured part of my wardrobe.

i accept cowichan repairs by mail, or you can arrange a drop-off time at my home studio.

in the gallery below, there are photos of geniuine cowichans as well as cowichan-inspired sweaters, to show the range of repair types on this weight of sweater.

i also offer repairs on other types of heavy sweaters, like icelandic sweaters, ganseys, fair isle, fishermen’s sweaters, etc.
