I have used fabrics that are more than 50 years old and they are fine. I keep them in an air conditioned house in cupboards with doors on to keep out the light. Never had a problem. Inherited lots of fabrics from my mother and use them with great abandon. If you don't let them get faded from the light or live where they might mold from the humidity, I don't see why you would need to get rid of any of your fabrics.
