reknit
Fix dropped stitches
Reknit means to knit again, whether literally with yarn or figuratively with relationships, communities, or anything else that can be woven together.
A dropped stitch might require you to reknit part of a sweater, while a fractured family might need time to reknit their bonds.
After the argument, it took months to reknit their friendship.
The word emphasizes restoration of something that was once whole but came apart.
