PSA: protect your woolen garments because moths will destroy everything. I speak from experience.

Moths are the actual and absolute worst. Since I decided to dress in more historical fashion, I have aquired some more woolen garments. Some stockings, woolen skirts and sweaters etc. As you probably know, real wool is more expensive (but also very nice to wear in my opinion), so these garments have been investments or have been thrifting treasures that I cherished.

Last summer, I first noticed that a woolen blanket had a few holes, and then I discovered one tiny moth and then a sweater with holes. Since then I have tried everything I could find online to destroy them, but they keep coming back.

I have mended some pieces, with pain in my heart. Today I am going to painstakingly clean (by hand) all of the pieces and check them for eggs (ugh) again and clean my whole closet out.

Please, if you, like me, have some cherished wool stuff, prevent them from getting eaten, because it is the worst feeling.
