cashmere sweater

52 mended holes on this cashmere sweater (i.e. moth snack).  A client of mine kindly gave me this sweater to 'play' with, and I certainly did. I luckily had a large array of thin coloured wool yarns in my studio, including  some naturally dyed yarns leftover from my Botanical Reclamation project. I usually prefer more invisible/subtle mends, but this wild colour indulgence was quite fun. 
A reminder that nothing is 'beyond repair', as long as you are willing to gently & patiently tend it. I'll let that sit in your hearts however you need it to.

Project timeline: ~20 hrs
