Work gloves. They’re kinda expensive.

      They seem to be more like a knit fabric (like sweaters) than a woven one (like t-shirts or jeans). For knit fabrics with small holes “darning” is the repair method. You will need kevlar thead or yarn to do any repair where you want that area to be still be cut resistant. If you don’t care about that, any thread will do.

        never knew kevlar thread was a thing consumers could buy! By definition, wouldn’t sowing kevlar be extremely difficult since it’s puncture resistant?

          AFAIK kevlar fabric in the top result from the link you posted isn’t puncture resistant, it is cut resistant. You could still poke a needle through. Looking farther down the results are puncture resistant gloves. Those would have to be patched (not darned) to keep them puncture resistant. And yeah, that would probably be hard to do.

          Metals are also puncture resistant. For finger tips you could glue some shaped metal (like a thimble) over the whole finger tip. It might not be ideal - just thinking of cheap solutions.
