I have a pair of well worn merino wool base layer bottoms that I am looking to repair. I want to know the correct way to sew this particular knit so that I can fix them without ruining the integrity of the bottoms. Thank you.
I wrote a step by step instruction guide to show you how to repair a hole in your merino wool underwear. This guide assumes that you know how to thread a needle and have, at the very least, some basic sewing skills. This repair is specifically for the crotch of a pair of Icebreaker Beast underwear. This guide should help you repair any Icebreaker, Smartwool, or ExOfficio underwear; or any other merino wool gear. http://www.hcrbeta.com/how-to-repair-a-h…

I use wool felting to repair my wool socks and merino underwear. Works really well.
