Moth-Free Wool
Dear Aunt Daisy, I was interested to read about the lady who found that new unbleached calico was good for baffling blow-flies in blankets; and wondered at the time if anyone else had discovered that *the
humble flour-bag seems to keep moths out of wool. I always put my wool in flour-bags; have had some stored thus -for four years and there is no sign of moth in it. This may just be good luck on my part, of course, but I have seen moths attack other woollen material stored in the same cupboard without being in flour-bags.
