What a pity!
Airing the yarn may help (just like airing wool clothes after being in a
very smokey place, be it from tobacco or a fire place).
My husband and I are tabletweaver and if we show our bands you can be
certain, a fire place is near. But after coming back from an outdoor
history park in The Nederlands, where we show bands and skills, and the
bands have been hanging for three days in the smoke of the really small
fire place of the hut, they definitely need a wash. Just once with the
favorite "soap" and a good rinse took the smell out.
Who knows what else was burning material and got into the smoke (and
finest soot) that got into your shop?

Minimal water problems that will dry out soon.
Smoke smell is quite pronounced. Does anyone have suggestions for
treating
my yarn inventory to get rid of the odor without damaging the yarn?
Right now we're airing the building and will continue tomorrow - past
that,
I'll be putting the yarn into looser configurations so that it gets fresh
air circulation.
