WOW - congrats on a great find. If the fact that they smell is all that's wrong with them, washing them is a small price to pay. Great fabric, to say nothing of the price.

Good Luck with the mothball smell.
A lady gave me an entire bolt of
poly/cotton rouyal bluel and I
cannot get the smell out.

I have washed 2 times in baking soda
& vinegar, hung out over night on
the line & NO LUCK.

PLEASE tell me what works for you.

Yes, PLEASE do share, when you find what works to get that mothball smell out.

Wow, you found treasure! Good for you, have fun!!

Beautiful fabric!

you hit the jackpot!

You lucky gal you!

WOW, what a wonderful find. I think the moth ball smell would be better than mold, mildew or cigarette smoke. Should wash out.

The fabric fairy was good to you, enjoy!

WOW! You really did hit the mother load! Have fun using it, looks like real quality fabric!
