My friend Laura insists that the only way to exterminate moths is with dry ice. You put it in the bottom of a bag, the afflicted wool on top and then seal the bag. The gas from the dry eye kills the moths, supposedly. She says that freezing doesn't kill the eggs.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-86363856526250588192010-07-01T08:11:35.299-04:002010-07-01T08:11:35.299-04:00I would think the rayon is safe from moths also. ...I would think the rayon is safe from moths also. Leave it in the baggie, put it in the dryer on high and tumble it-you would dislodge or disturb anything in there and then use it with abandon!Delighted Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289187765260532813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-47674035858217892082010-07-01T06:34:27.930-04:002010-07-01T06:34:27.930-04:00Sue, no clue but I can't imagine moths to be a...Sue, no clue but I can't imagine moths to be a problem to rayon.

Do you know where the yarn was stored before it came to you? In a home? A garage? I have no clue what other little "animals" might be lurking, though, such as silverfish or whatever. Perhaps a bug expert can help... I like Wendy's idea of heat and cold.Lois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-35885629960433146652010-06-30T19:30:36.791-04:002010-06-30T19:30:36.791-04:00No amount of moth paranoia is excessive.

The idea is that the summer heat or winter cold will kill anything that might be lurking inside.Wendy Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363336324186683571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-81539576649707309742010-06-30T19:04:59.773-04:002010-06-30T19:04:59.773-04:00You are so wise to bag them as you did!
