Today I took out a shawl which a daughter knitted for me some years ago from
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???
I must have a look for that stitch.

Higs,
