Storage

How does everyone store their fabric?Do you indiviualy wrap them?Do you fold them or roll them up so there aren't any creases?

starla88 Publish time 2024-4-11 17:39

I fold my linens and store them in a resealable plastic bag by counts and color (neutral vs non neutral color). So each count has 2 bags, for example 32 ct linens are stored in 2 bag based on the color (neutral and colors). in addition, I separate all white linens and store them in one bag regardless the counts.

The website I buy from sells them in labelled zipocks, so I just keep them that way.

I roll them to avoid creases, and just use an elastic hair tie to keep them wrapped.

I also keep them in plastic bags and then in a plastic tote. It's the only way I can store it all.
