recycling old damaged sweaters?

[kalimba21.livejournal.com]

Anyone know of where I could bring old soft cashmere and wool sweaters that got damaged from moths but are now clean and holey? I was going to toss them, but realized that some people cut these up and use them for other stuff.

Thanks for any insight.

I would use them... but it looks like you already have a taker. :)

I cut them into strips and braid them into little rugs.

We can spread the love. I have a couple favorite sweaters that got badly eaten, too. I'd be *most* psyched if I could barter to you to fix them, but if that's not in your skill-set, next up would be turning them into something else.

Also we have a Navajo rug, wool, that got eaten. It's of too much personal value to turn into anything else (we got it as a wedding present to ourselves on our honeymoon) so if you know anyone who might be able to repair that (yourself included), we would pay actual money for that.
