gothams3rdrobinI went rummaging at the bottom of my wardrobe this morning, planning to clear it out as I need somewhere to store my old TV (my uncle's given me his old one, as the one my grandparents gave me doesn't have a very good focus, so I need somewhere to keep the one already in my room since it still works). I was keeping my wool in a wicker basket, but when I pulled it out the basket had gone all mouldy! :-(
It's a recurring problem in my room, since the floods I used to have in my bathroom. For some reason, my bedroom still has damp issues *grumbles*
There's no sign - at least at the moment - of any damp on the wool inside the basket. But it all smells very fausty. And some of it's really nice wool too...
Anyone got much experience with wool? Can I shove all of it in the machine and wash it, or do I just have to throw it all away? I really, really hope not.

The freezer bag approach sounds interesting, plus there's another tip in the comments on how to keep the wool from getting musty again.
