    I store mine in camphor/cedar wood chests. We inherited them from MIL when she passed away. I'm not a fan of plastic because it doesn't breathe when it's closed... this doesn't matter too much if you are always digging around in them and airing them but over a long period it can harbour mildew spores etc. The chests are in the lounge room and quite decorative. They are lockable but they aren't locked ATM. I'm happy with the system and might even see if i can buy another chest for my wool.

    ............agree, reason why when i add a new tub, i grab some old scrap pieces of material, put a couple of lavendar drops on each, and place 4-5 in each tub....apparently keeps the mildew away....and prevents materials from smelling musty.....
