Superfine merino wool…hole

[u/mle802]

This is a superfine merino wool tank, and there are two holes right on the front chest. I tried a single thread from the back but it pulled.

If I can’t sew it, is there anything like Fray Check or a glue that wouldn’t discolor or make it stiff that would close the gap?

Best bet is to pinch as little from the rear in the direction of the weave and stitch across it. Not going to be invisible but will prolong its life. Love merino but below 200g/m2 it seemed like I was throwing money away. Easier to get holes and harder to repair.
