Yarn/project/knitwear storage

[Captain Catnip]

How do you knitters and crocheters store your stuff? Mine is on an open shelf which is a bad idea I know, because MOTHS AHHHHHH! I haven't seen any but I think one ate parts of a sock. I need to store them better and am waiting on whether my mom has a cedar chest I can have or not. I figure I should sort this out before I make my first sweater.

Can you put cedar chips in and around the yarn?

I'm afraid the chips would snag the yarn possibly.

Hmm, didn't think of that. I'll have to try to find those!

My stash is in under-bed zipper storage and an ikea Expedit unit. No moth issues to date. If you're having trouble with moths, one of my LYS owners recommends storing in vacuum-sealed bags (like those space-saver ones). Apparently it doesn't hurt the yarn at all and protects them from all kinds of issues - water, smoke, and moths.

I am a rebel and store all my yarn out in cubbies so I can see it. I haven't had issues with moths yet, but if I ever see one, I will get some cedar.

As far as my projects, I keep everything in a project bag. Usually they are zippered or drawstring. I store those throughout the house (some in the living room where I knit at night, some in my craft room, some in the bedroom) in baskets.

I use space-saver type bags. The stash is too large to fit in the given space without doing so, and it also helps protect it.
