I wear mine year-round.
Hey, we got all excited because it got up to 68 degrees yesterday!
I've never had any issues with my Ibex.. Shaks, etc. I don't even take them out of my closet.
However, in the past 5 years, I had moths holes in 2-3 J Crew merino sweaters. It's really strange; only that brand. And they stopped making petite sized sweaters, so I am sad.
I put my other wool sweaters in those big plastic storage bins now.
Some of my woolies lives in a cedar chest year round, the other lives in a drawer with cedar blocks, or just hangs in the closet.
I'm coming over there. I can't do 90s.Quote:

Conversation:
Malkin: I think I want a hope chest.
Brewer: What are you hoping for?
Me: Hoping that vermin don't eat our wool kit!
There's something about the wool threads on here, they're always so good!
Owlie, I would love a cedar chest too, even though my handmade blankets are all acrylic.
Anyway. Like Knotted, my woollies (all two of them) seem to be getting year round use. I imagine that they might get the month off in August, but will just stay in their regular drawer.
I got mine the old fashioned way, I inherited it from my Grandmother. :)
And after a furniture restorer removed the gastly green paint, it's really pretty - although the feet look like they came off of something from the 70's instead of a 1940 era piece of furniture.
I got one yesterday--the modern way--second or third hand from the local online classifieds. The cost was less than one wool jersey!
There were several to choose from: each ugly in its own way, but maybe that's really what scares the vermin away.
Heh heh heh...
Picked up another cedar chest yesterday. This one, the cute guy had made for his cute wife, 2 drawers (on rollers) on the bottom and a big chest on top.
They both seemed like it had been a good idea-- but she couldn't figure out where to put it in the house, and he seemed unsatisfied by how it had turned out.
It's the perfect height for the kitty to sit on and look out the window!
yes, I got one that way too, Craigslist ads!! you can shop til you find exactly what you want and the right price too.
