So far it&#8217;s not so bad &#8212; or at least not as bad as I&#8217;d feared. The destruction so far:<\/p>\n<ul> * one sock with two holes (salvage possible)* one lace shawl 3\/4 done eaten so badly the yarn couldn&#8217;t be salvaged at all<\/p>\n<p>* one lace scarf with three holes (salvage possible)<\/p>\n<p>* two containers of angora fiber completely yucky &#8212; had to toss.<\/p>\n<p>* one spindle of angora yarn chewed enough that it has to be tossed<\/ul>\n<p>Not too bad so far.  Salvageable projects have been placed in a Ziploc bag and sealed. I figure that way if I missed anything it will come out in the bag and then can be tossed.  So, far most of my loose fiber has been okay &#8212; or at least looks okay but it was stored with cedar sachets and cedar balls and sprigs of rosemary and eucalyptus &#8212; also the final rinse for all fiber is in a eucalyptus scented rinse.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve still got some more boxes and bags to go through but I&#8217;m feeling a bit better about all this.  At least once it&#8217;s done it&#8217;s done and I&#8217;ll just have to be more careful in the future with what comes into the house.  Of course, it doesn&#8217;t help that we live on 5 wooded acres in the rural tier of Prince Georges County, Maryland. It&#8217;s wooded and farm area so there&#8217;s lots of bugs. We&#8217;ve managed to gain control on the house but it&#8217;s hard to keep bugs out during the summer when doors open and close as you move the screens into play.<\/p>\n<p>The other side effect is that I found I have quite a bit of sock yarn, but not a lot of general stash.  Got lace weight for planned projects and none extra.  I do have a lot of cleaned fleece ready for spinning.  And, oh gee, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sheepandwool.org\/index.html\" title=\"Maryland Sheep and Wool\" target=\"_blank\">Maryland Sheep and Wool<\/a> is coming up in May (the website hasn&#8217;t been updated yet)&#8211; at least this year I have a better idea what&#8217;s in the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been continuing to organize and move fiber and projects into Ziploc bags.
