Yarn Care

General Yarn Care Advice

Store all yarn in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Yarn can absorb moisture in the air so humidity control is essential. Yarn also needs to breathe so non-airtight containers are a great option.

Once a year, air out your stash and check all yarn to make sure there’s no moisture or evidence of moths.

Lavender, red cedar, Irish Spring soap, and dryer sheets can be placed in with your yarn to help keep moths and other bugs away, just be sure these items don’t come into direct contact with the yarn.
