Default Moth help!

crikey, that's awful!! I'd be using napthalene- smelly and toxic but it
does work... and the smell does air out. If you can't/won't use
napthalene, cedar might work. I have read that all the herbal things like
lavender only mask the smell of the fibre, they don't actually repel
moths, just hide your wool from their little mothy noses. Cedar may be an
exception to this.

Oh, and light, moths hate light. So store your most precious things out
of the darkness.

Thanks, the shawl was in the dark.

I still haven't told her ...
