if you want to protect your investment, then do it the best you can.
I know a lady that uses a wide rotary ruler to wrap her fabric on, then places them on the shelf and pulls the ruler out, when she wants a certain fabric she uses a bread peel to lift the stack so she can pull it out!
I do this but not the bread peel part, I use an old ruler to lever up the stack. But then I don't keep much yardage as stash... When I'm folding round the ruler I count the folds - six equals about a yard. Then I pin a little bit of paper to the selvage with the yardage written on. :-D
