a whole new stash if it is still good!
Not moldy, not stinky, I stored EVERYTHING in a DRY environment with a small heater going in winter, in a sealed shed, in a UHAUL box with a black heavy duty garbage bag surrounding all the fabric. I packed everything in a bag and then in the box. I have only found one thing out of thousands ever tarnished slightly by packing this way. How would I test for dry rot?
if it rips OFF grain, and makes dust it is dry rotted...I have only seen this happen to really old fabric stored in a shed...
sounds like you are in luck...and up to your ears in NEW stash...just in time too with prices going like they are!
