Many years ago, I bought some dry storage barrels. They're about 4 feet tall and 2 feet in diameter, with a metal bottom and metal top that has a slide lock. These are awesome and I wish I'd bought more of them. I've stored yarn and fabric in them for 10+ years in the garage in the heat of Southern California and when I take stuff out it's as good as when it went in.
The downside is it's difficult to find anything - you pretty much have to empty the barrel. OTOH, I use them for long-term storage. My dream would be to have a place in the house to store yarn and fabric so I can actually SEE what I have. So far, it's still a dream.
