reweaving
Repairing torn cloth
Reweaving is the repair of damaged fabric by weaving new threads into the existing material, restoring tears or holes to near-invisible condition.
Professional reweavers can mend moth damage, cigarette burns, or rips in fine garments: The tailor specializes in reweaving wool suits.
Figuratively, reweaving describes reconstituting something that has come apart: reweaving the social fabric after conflict.
