I have this fabulous brocade jacked that the elbow just sort of shredded out on. I don't actually know how to fix it. I just have to put a bloody patch on it don't I?
Basically it's called "re-weaving" and consists of about what you think it sounds like it would. It's time consuming, and possibly expensive, but if it's a small area and the item is valuable it might be worth it to you.
I would suggest starting first with a tailor or seamstress you trust, and asking if they have any recommendations. If not, look for listings of people who specialize in (strangely) rug repair, as they will be able to send you in the right direction.
