Re: [lace] Linen Thread Storage

[Lin Hudren]

i live in the desert in southern Nevada USA and at the most humid we get to
about 45%.  we only get 12" of rain each year (mostly within two months).
 storing threads like linen (and cotton) is a challenge so i mostly use
silk and when i need the others, i only order what i need so i don't have
to "store" too much.  i have not had any difficulty with cotton so far and
the silk seems to "not care".  i think the advice for wrapping is awesome.
 we have grit from the winds stirring the grit from the area is a
troublesome consideration for me.  i like plastic bags for protection from
this, but they rot easily and have to be replaced.  in the dryer climes, i
just open the bags up for a month and replace them.  this might not compare
to your area.


Hugs, Lin and the Mali

Re: [lace] Linen Thread Storage

[Brenda Paternoster]

That’s a lot dryer than UK - we are 70%-90% relative humidity.

A fine mist of water into the atmosphere around the cabinet, not directly onto
the linen, from time to time should help especially in the drier/summer
months.

Acid free tape and an acid free marker sound fine to me.

Re: [lace] Linen Thread Storage

[Tregellas Family]

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.

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.

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
