Today I took out a shawl which a daughter knitted for me some years ago

her own spun Hebridean black wool from the two Heb ewe lambs I gave her.
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).


My Rubbermaid containers keep moths out. I also have a cedar chest in
which I keep very SPECIAL things.
I am so sorry you lost the shawl. It must have been VERY special to
you.
Maybe if you cry softly when you tell your daughter, she will make
you
another one???


She has a sick husband, a two year old and a farm now, she only had the farm
when she did it and her husband helped with it. I couldn't expect her to
make another.

But I might make her a pi shawl when I get the book :-)

Mary
I must have a look for that stitch.
