    Being a bit cooler first thing in the morning, I went to put on my wooly jumper till it warms up.

    Loads of dust fell off it, which I thought was a bit odd, nothing else in the wardrobe was dusty.

    Then I noticed loads of chrysalids falling out, followed by clumps of wool.

    Totally eaten:doh:

    Can you still get moth balls? or are they illegal now?

        Hi Woo, thats good news, thought i'd heard that Napthalene had been withdrawn as you can make explosives with it, but I probably just dreamt that.

        I'd better get some as i've just bought a pack of cotton rich socks, they'll have those away.

                    You can still buy mothballs , but I have found it is extremly difficult to hit the moth with them , when you throw :snork:
