I just hang mine in the basement or inside a tote with cedar balls purchased at WM.

I use zip up plastic garment bags for some of my wool.  Others just hangs in a closet.  Never had problems with either.

I wrap mine in a cotton pillow case (wool needs to breathe) and then tuck it into a cedar lined chest. Peace!

Cedar lined closet works..and is fairly easy to turn one into one with kits from Lowe's/Home Depot..other than that..the zipped closed garment lockers with cedar strips in the bottom

I have always stored mine in a regular closet on a hanger. As far as I know I have never had an issue.

Just make sure whatever you store it in, that it breaths, plastic better have holes in it. I store mine in a ceder chest with a box of moth balls opened inside of it and have had no problems.

I store mine in the storage bags from Walmart that you can vacuum the air out of. Place the wool and some local, natural scent like a pine or sage. Never had any problems just make sure to not to introduce a lot of moisture into the bag before sealing. I also take mine out from time to time on nice days and let it "air out" and soak up the natural smells.
