Tips

Storing Your Knits
When you put your sweaters and other knitted wear away for the season besure they have been cleaned or washed. A tiny speck of food or beverage -- you may not even see it -- invites company to dinner. Moths are not the only things that eat -- crickets and silver fish are as destructive as moths and will eat any fiber, not just wool.
Besure your storage container is clean and if it is air tight besure to put a bar of soap -- open the ends of the wrapper but leave the soap inside. It will keep your things fresh and avoids mildew smells at it will absorb excess moisture.
