With these \u003cstrong\u003ewool repair patches from FLOMAX\u003c\/strong\u003e, you can reinforce the damaged area and continue wearing your sweater, cardigan, or trousers to your heart's content. Because repairing clothing is almost always a better idea than replacing it – especially when the rest of the garment is still in great shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe patches are made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic wool\u003c\/strong\u003e, are IVN BEST-certified, and feature a sturdy boiled wool quality. This version comes in the color \u003cstrong\u003eRUST\u003c\/strong\u003e: a warm orange-brown hue that combines beautifully with brown, beige, denim, dark green, burgundy, and other autumn colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have these wool knee and elbow patches in a total of \u003cstrong\u003eseven colors\u003c\/strong\u003e. This allows you to choose a color that blends in almost invisibly with the garment or to turn the repair into a visible detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy repair with a wool patch?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade from 100% organic wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIVN BEST-certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy boiled wool quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 16 cm long and 9 cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used on both knees and elbows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCan be attached by hand or sewing machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in seven different colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHelps clothing last longer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA second life for well-worn clothing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who wears a lot of wool knows that the material can eventually wear down. The elbows of sweaters and cardigans in particular endure a lot of friction. For trousers, it is usually the knees that thin out first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith these patches, you don't have to put such an item at the back of your closet or throw it away. You cover the damaged spot, reinforce the fabric, and extend the lifespan of your clothing. That saves resources and ensures you get to enjoy something that is already part of your wardrobe for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy the way, you don't have to wait until a full hole appears. Do you notice the fabric getting thin? Apply the patch ahead of time. Reinforcing a worn spot preventively is usually easier than repairing it once your elbow is already enthusiastically poking through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to sew on the patch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the patch generously over the damaged area and pin it in place. You may want to try on the garment to ensure the patch is positioned correctly when you bend your elbow or knee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen sew the patch on around the edges by hand or with a sewing machine. Use thread in a similar color for a subtle result, or consciously choose a contrasting thread to turn the repair into a visible style detail. Is the hole already a bit larger? Secure the loose edges with a few stitches first before sewing the patch over them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRUST: a repair that deserves to be seen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis warm rust color pairs beautifully with natural wool colors and makes a simple sweater or pair of trousers just that little bit more lively. On dark blue jeans, green wool trousers, or a brown cardigan, the repair becomes a striking detail. On clothing in rust and orange tones, the patch blends in beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA repaired garment doesn't have to be perfect or invisible. It shows that clothing has value and doesn't need to be replaced at the first sign of wear. Moreover, such a warm wool patch can make your old favorite even more charming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare after repairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter attaching the patch, always follow the washing instructions for the garment on which you have applied it. Fortunately, wool clothing rarely needs washing. Thorough airing out is often enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes the garment still need to be washed? Choose a wool wash cycle at a low temperature and use a low spin speed. Wash with a suitable wool detergent, such as our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLANALICIOUS wool and silk detergent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and preferably let the garment dry flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes the wool develop small pills over time? You can carefully remove them with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k.html\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. Use a suitable fine attachment head and work extra carefully along the edges and the stitching of the patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the FLOMAX repair patches\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these patches made of real wool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the knee and elbow patches are made of 100% organic wool and are IVN BEST-certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big are the patches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are approximately 16 cm long and 9 cm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to iron or sew them on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe patches must be sewn onto the garment.
