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).

It seems that lavender is a natural moth repellent Mary. One link you may
find helpful is at

where they give a "recipe" for making the mixture.
PS My mother always just made lavender bags or used dry bay leaves and
that seemed to work).
