I went to get a portion of my new gray alpaca fleece, and when I opened the bag, the fibers were crawling with little white moths. Ugh. I immediately took the bag outside, then checked my other bags of fiber. It seems that the infestation is currently only in the one bag.

This is my first experience with a clothes moths infestation, so I did some internet research (I know, internet knowledge, but I read several articles and went to a few different websites). I decided the freeze method was the best route for me, mainly because I have freezer space and don’t want to use chemicals. I put the whole bag in my deep freeze and the plan is to leave it in there for at least two weeks. When I’m up to it, I will take it out of the freezer and wash the lot of it (so it may be longer than two weeks, that is a big job). But I’m all creepy crawly now and concerned for the rest of my fiber stash.
