Storing Wool

[NewMommy6111]

How should I store wool between children? I've read that it shouldn't be under anything heavy or compressed. I store the clothes I'm keeping for future children in a tote. Would the wool be okay in there? Does it need to be in a heated or air conditioned place? Or can I keep it in my storage shed? Plastic bag or no?

I would make sure it's clean and unlanolized and in a plastic bag or cedar chest. The rest I'm not sure it it matters. I just keep mine individually in ziplock gallon bags inside rubbermaid tubs with the rest of the diapers in the basement.

I stored mine a sealed ziploc with other diapering items in my basement. They were fine. I think the main thing would be to have them in something sealed so as not to worry about moths. I've never heard the "don't compress".

the storage shed thing scares me. I'd be afraid moths would get in or mice would chew through the plastic bags.

Good thread. I just stored some wool today but didn't do anything other than put in a box. Now, I'll go back and put in a ziploc.

I store mine in our cedar chest.

Why washed but not lanolized? I'm dreading having to go wash lanolin out of everything now!

And how do you get lanolin off? I'm having the worst time with it and I'm tired of washing wool I just want to put away lol!
