reweave

Interlace threads again

To reweave is to weave again, typically to repair damaged fabric by interlacing new threads into the existing weave: The tailor reweaved the torn sleeve so the mend was nearly invisible.

Figuratively, to reweave is to reconstruct or reconnect something that has come apart: She spent years reweaving the relationships her addiction had destroyed.
