Yikes Moths! - Prevent a disaster
Do you know that aside from wool, cloths moths love coats, blankets, decorative items, down pillows and comforters and silk. What to do! - be sure to laundry or dry clean items that are being stored for a period of time. Cleaning kills any eggs or larvae that may be present and also removes perspiration and food particles that may be present and are attractive to these pests. How often have you taken out a sweater or other item that you stored for the summer to find that it has been the summer feast for cloth moths. After cleaning your garments, or treasured textiles the best way to store your cherished items is inside the covertures with the hidden organic and wildcrafted herbal sachet which deters moths from moving in.
“At Last” an herbal weapon in the war against Moth infestation
Herbs
Cache~Cachet’s herbal sachet was put together by an Oregon herbalist. This particular recipe has been formulated so that the aroma of one herb is not prevalent over another herb, therefore when in a combination the odor is neutralized and does not permeate your garments. The moths, however find the aroma repugnant. They deem that this is an unsafe habitat to lay their eggs. Remember it is the larva that feed on your garments.
How did the Cache~Cachet line of covertures come about?
For years I worked in sales and management with Nordstrom. When I was sent to Palo Alto. California as the opening sales staff for “Collectors”, the women’s designer department, I was introduced to clothing that was indeed beautiful, luxurious and very expensive. I remember that there was a fixture of exquisite sweaters starting at $498.00. Now do understand, this was 1985. You can imagine what the prices would be today. At that moment I knew that storing these valuable sweaters in a plastic bag was not the way to take care of these treasures. The idea stuck. I put it on the back burner and eventually decided that I needed to design what I thought was missing in the marketplace to store sweaters, knits, silks and heirlooms. Hence today I present to you Cache~Cachet the line of elegant covertures to protect garments that are special to you. Do understand value is perceived. This has nothing to do with price. One gal bought a large coverture to store her grandmother’s hand crocheted bedspread. Previously she had stored the bedspread in a plastic bag until she read that storing your garments and heirlooms in plastic is damaging to them.
To all Knitters & Crocheters
At the Knit-Purl
When I attended the Knit and Crochet Show in Portland,OR I met a fantastic crochet designer called The Crochet Dude. Drew Emborsky has an impressive clientele of men crocheters. He loves the coverture for traveling with his yarn samples. It keeps the yarn together. When traveling, if the TSA agent paws through his luggage, the yarn does not get disorganized, dropped on the floor or get lost which has happened in the past.
Lynn Landon, an experience knitter writes - “I received my coverture and have been using it to store the raw wool yarn I use for knitting. It’s much nicer looking than the plastic bags that I was using before. I no longer have to worry about the wool being eaten by moths”.
The sachet of herbs, smell wonderful; much nicer than moth balls or other insect-repelling chemicals. I’m going to keep all of my wool in the coverture from now on. I plan to store my finished sweater in the coverture. This is a very pretty addition to my closet space.
