Oh No, I have a stash!

I've recently heard people talking about their yarn stash - I decided to go through mine to see what I've got. Not sure of the best way to store the yarn. I like having it out where I can see it but I'm afraid it will get dusty and dirty.

I'm also wondering, do we need to worry about things like Moths with all this wool around? I have some in baskets and some on shelves next to my loom. But I want to do what ever is necessary to protect the yarn. An article in the recent Handwoven magazine showed various stashes stored on open shelves but these might be people who will be using their yarn much more often than I will. Any thoughts?





I also made up some fiber cards with a small sample and information about each yarn. Couldn't find an existing system for doing this at my local Michael's so I used the plastic sheets that I think are used for needlepoint. Anyway, I cut them in to strips of various widths and it seemed to work well.
