Disappointed with Ibex Woolie top

[Grog]

I've had a few micro-hole events with Ibex tops recently (of the very fine variety) and I'm starting to suspect that the holes are caused by my Ibex Bouclé jacket. The holes are all at the same spot, which would be about where the lower part of the zipper of the Bouclé would rub against the wool, near my waist.

I'm very annoyed, because layering wool is my way of life. I have at least 3-4 pieces with a mini-hole problem. (And I still need to find proper wool thread to fix them.)

Grog - if a bit of wool thread for repairs didn't come with the item (little cards with thread wound on it), then do you have a yarn shop in your area? Look in the phone book under embroidery or yarn - and you might have some luck there. Wool yarn is used in crewel embroidery, and sold by the piece, so you wouldn't have to buy a whole skein of yarn for just a bit to fix your sweater.

If all else fails - there's a good shop here in New Orleans, and with a sample thread, I'll go on a snipe hunt for you. No, no, please, don't force me to go back to that shop, no noooooooooo.

Thanks BMC! Good idea. There are actually two wool shops within 5 minutes of my home, and I think they'll be nice. I won't force you into that evil shop of yours.
