She'd chosen the stitch 'candlelight' because I made beeswax candles.

It had huge holes in it and it's unsalvageable.

Does anyone know of any home moth-proofing system?

Obviously it will be for future items but we'd hate it to happen again.
We're both very unhappy (Spouse and I - I haven't told daughter yet).

How terrible to have such a significant piece ruined! I'm so sorry.

We keep our woolens in a cedar closet, and my yarn bags all have blocks
of cedar (it's actually American juniper) scattered through them, but as
others have mentioned, mixes with lavendar in them should help as well.

Your health-food store might have bottles of juniper essential oil,
which you can dab on cotton or cardboard and place in your closets.
My sympathy.
