What’s the safest way to store wool sweaters? Should you put paper sheets inbetween them?
a fangool
>>18562227You definitely need something to keep away moths.
I just have a big plastic tote for sweaters
>>18562227A container that you can seal so moths don't get in. Like picrel for example. You fold and stack them.
In a trash bin. Wool sweaters are probably the most overrated garments of this century. They correspond to an era where really consistent and comfortable indoor heating wasn’t available. Nowadays they make any outfit too warm for heated indoors and not cold for actual outside temps when you’d wear a sweater. They’re completely pointless garments.
>>18562271Don't you be disparaging my merino wool sweaters, boy.
>>18562271The motherfucking subhuman has entered the chat. Daily reminder a quarter of the posts on this shit-smearing table board are made by people like this.
>>18562243>>18562254>>18562262Do you guys live in houses with windows that don't close or something?
>>18562325I never understood this either. I have never in my life had "moths" eat my garments. Moths don't just materialize in your closet. Their larvae also don't. The moth thing comes from dreadfully poor people here in America and all Europeans regardless of class, because euros have to leave their doors and windows open because they're not allowed or can't afford air condition. If you're an American, you don't have to worry about any type of moth prevention.
>>18562331>because euros have to leave their doors and windows openever heard of a mosquito net?
>>18562332lol thank got i'm not a europoor. "mosquito net". like you really tried to use this as a justification as I'm I'm the retard here. Poor poor, Nigel.
>>18562332>using a mosquito net in your housewtf do you not have screens on your windows either?
>>18562331Yes you do, but it has more to do with the climate and environment you live in though, in my experience. I grew up in a dry desert and never once had to think about pest prevention with regards to clothes, except maybe shaking your boots out to make sure no lizard/scorpion/tarantula or something crawled in. Then I moved to the humid south. There are so many bugs here. In the first 2 years I stored my out of season things like I normally would (cardboard boxes in the closet). As you can imagine, those got moths. Homes are not vacuum sealed, out here you open your door to bring in groceries, and moths/mosquitos/etc. WILL get in. Silver fish too. I have a lot of books, never had to worry about that in a dry climate, but now I have to rearrange and air out the shelves every now and again. It's a constant war against the environment. >>18562262This is correct. I throw in some cedar blocks to be safe too.

>>18562340>screens on your windowsyeah thats what i meant sorry im esl and am directly translating from my language
>>18562325moths aren't the only bugs that eat wool, I lost a few sweaters to silverfish.
>>18562298most merino wool is literally coated in plastic to allow it to be water washed . go look it up. it’s called Superwash. the garment manufacturer/textile industry doesnt have to disclose this on the label. there are non plastic alternatives like plasma wash but ive only really found one company using it and they just make basics
>>18562452Go fuck yourself, Big Billy Bob the Broad wouldn't scam me like that
>>18562377Moths don't eat wool, they are attracted to areas of sweaters and other clothing that harbour sweat, like armpits.The solution isn't the environment, screen doors or boxes, it's washing your disgusting, sweaty, hairy body so your clothes aren't constantly trapping sweat
>>18562271>>18562271spoken like someone who has never actually spent any discernable time outdoors in any survival capacity. wool is a miracle fibre and humans throughout all of history knew this from the neolithic onwards
