Hi Joseph,
As you know I live in Adelaide and we have an extremely dry climate with
quite low humidity. This is fatal when using linen threads in our
summer as they tend to just disintegrate very quickly. I refrain from
using linen threads during our summer months.
Cheers,
Shirley T. - hope you are improving now and sorry we won't see you at
the Lace House until next year.

We dont live in the desert, we have an average humidity of 35-55%. I wouldnt
know how to rate that as dry or mildly damp.
I have a small cabinet that has a mesh front, and a couple of shelves. It will
fit in the bathroom. I will make some trays to put the thread in.
How should i mark the outer of the tissue? Use 3m acid free tape and acid free
marker?
Thanks Brenda, I feel very special being able to talk to you.

What is the best way to keep moisture in the thread? Is there a device that i
can keep with the thread when it has been property prepared for storage?
At my last resort, i can put a small cabinet in the bathroom too keep the
thread. I think that would be my best option at this stage.
What sort of climate do you live in.
Where I am in UK dryness, especially on days like today when it’s just
drizzling rain all the time, looking after linen is no problem, but if you are
in a desert …… Yes a cabinet in the bathroom would be a good option. Wrap
the spools loosely in acid free tissue, but allow the air to circulate, maybe
open the drawer when the room is steamy, and don’t seal the linen into
polythene bags.
