Our responsibility to your garment does not end the moment it reaches your wardrobe; that is simply where the relationship begins. We engineer our natural fibre knitwear to last a lifetime, supported by intuitive care guidance and our dedicated Knit Clinic repair service. We are committed to keeping your clothes in rotation, honoring the signs of a life well-lived, and proving that true craftsmanship only gets better with time.
CLOTHES FOR LIFE
CLOTHES FOR LIFE
The Knit Clinic is our dedicated repair service, created to extend the life of Sheep Inc. garments. Delivered in partnership with specialist makers, the service connects you with skilled repair experts who understand knitwear construction and fibre behaviour. Their work restores structural integrity while preserving the character of your piece.This is craftsmanship continuing beyond the point of sale. Some repairs are discreet and nearly invisible. Others — particularly larger restorations — may be subtly visible, honouring the garment’s continued life. In both cases, the aim is durability and thoughtful.

Should I wash my knit before sending?
Yes please! It's important that we receive your knit in clean condition to be repaired. If we receive your knit in an unclean condition, we may be unable to complete the repair for you.
If you're unsure how to prepare your knit for sending, please check the care instructions on the inside label.
What kinds of repairs are possible?
The Seam restores all kinds of damage common to knitwear, including moth holes, snagged yarns, underarm holes, cuff and collar damage, and much more. If you’re unsure whether your item can be repaired, please chat directly with your Maker in the in-app chat. Please note that repairs may be visible.
What will my repair look like?
Repairs range from discreet to more visible woven darning techniques, dependent on the degree of damage.
Depending on the type of damage to your item, we may be able to discreetly repair your knitwear and hide the initial damage. This is typically the case for snagged yarns, ladders, and holes in seams.
For more complex repairs including holes and moth damage, we will use a yarn in a similar shade to repair your item, but the colour may not exactly match and so the repair may be visible.
To get an idea of the possibilities for repair, check out the gallery below or chat to our Maker directly in the app.
What does the project cost?
All Sheep Inc. repairs are free of charge, including postage.
Other services such as Alterations and Customisations are available for a fee which can be discussed with your Maker in the in-app chat. Please note that if an item has been altered or customised, it is no longer covered by our Care Guarantee.
How do I post my item?
You will be provided with a pre-paid shipping label directly inside the in-app chat once your booking is confirmed. Delivery confirmation and instructions will also be delivered to your account's email address, so please ensure this is accurate and up to date before you pay. This can be updated in your Account with The Seam.
A range of paperless or print at home options are available. Options marked 'Paperless' will provide you with a QR code that will be scanned at the Parcelshop. Options marked 'Print at home' require printing yourself and attaching to the parcel. When you select your carrier, please ensure you'll be able to print the label if you selected a print at home option, and drop the parcel at a participating Parcelshop convenient to you.
Ensure that your address is entered correctly for your returns label, using The Seam’s lookup tool where possible to ensure correct formatting and validation.

Please keep in mind that we are unable to take responsibility for any parcel until it is delivered to The Seam.
How long will the repair service take?
Once we receive your item, it will be repaired and posted back to you within 2-6 weeks. Exceptions may apply in some cases. Our Maker will confirm your service timeframe in the in-app chat.
I live outside of the UK, can I use this service?
Currently, our partnership with The Seam is only available to our UK customers. We hope that we can launch this service worldwide in the future, but there are a few details we need to iron out first.
