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.

(you should see the mardi gras rhinestone studded reading glasses I have from there)
