Today I review the scholarly literature and museum best practices on the best ways to store textiles, including your precious handknits. I focus on three aspects of seasonal (and longer-term) storage: (1) choosing and preparing the storage area; (2) selecting an appropriate storage container; and (3) preparing the handknits for storage.
I'd love to hear from you regarding how you store your handknits. What kind of storage area do you use -- a closet? basement? attic? And what kind of storage containers do you use? How do you prepare your handknits for being stored? Did you learn any useful tips in this video? Do you think you might change anything about your storage method? Leave your comments, questions, idea, or just say hi in the comment section below.
Also, in next week's video I'll be answering questions about pests like clothes moths and protecting your yarn stash. If you have any questions about these topics, please leave them below and I will try to address them in my next video.
