Happy to get these 10 wool rugs back and paid. It was a good day.

I have a bunch hanging up and another bunch on the floor. Saturday will be my delivery day.

Open them up or puncture holes when you deliver them so the rugs can acclimate. You don't want to trap any moisture.

I’m surprised an interesting DAT like this hasn’t generated more replies.
They are dry. The purpose of bagging them was to keep moths out. They are going into long term storage

For long term storage you want to use tyvek. I poke holes in either end of my plastic bagged rugs.

Ok but nothing is ever dry.

If you put a "dry" plastic-wrapped rug in the sun, you'll see water condensing on the sunny side of the plastic.
Wool holds a lot of moisture and still feels dry, so any long-term wrap has to breathe. Perforated plastic, paper, Tyvek - even a cotton sheet will keep pests out and let the moisture out.

Yikes, it’s a good think you posted a scratch and sniff pic so they could sniff you out. Or straighten you out!

Tyvek long term storage adds 30$ to the tab…

Exactly. There is always ambient moisture around. We run our rugs an extra 2 days in the dry room if long term storage is the request…
