What’s The Best Way To Store Wool Sweaters?
I keep my sweaters on a shelf in my closet. When I pulled out some of my wool ones to wear, they had little moth holes in them. How should I store them to avoid this happening to my new wool sweaters? Plastic containers? Cardboard boxes? Cedar chest? Also, do I have to worry about my wool blend sweaters or only 100% wool?

Put them into plastic bins or into sealable plastic garment bags. Hefty makes large sealable bags & they’d be great for sweater storage. Also, they make under the bed storage bins that would be great for sweater storage.

yeah, the little bugs that make the holes will eat anything fabric…. i put mine in those giant zip-lock bags (with a fabric softner sheet so they will smell good) and keep them in the top of the closet
my mom, all of my life she has done this, and never had any trouble, she gets a little block, about the size of a brick, of cedar wood and keeps it in her closet

You can just buy cedar blocks, a cedar chest can be expensive. Put the blocks in the plastic box or bag with the garments.
