Oh these look workable. I ordered one package of 100 to start from Amazon. When I get started, I'll post progress.

Thanks for that definition - what is the minimum size piece of fabric for storage? - most of my stash (other than precuts) are a yard or less - some only 1/2 yard WOF
Also, our house gets very dusty due to frequent strong winds (called gully breezes here) and very sandy soil. Normally I would place them in bags - but the high humidity encourages mildew

I just cut up old cardboard boxes to the size that fits into my storage drawers - 11.5" x 5.5" and wrap WOF fabric around that. I don't have an enormous stash and it seems to work well for WOF fabric. I got some plastic drawers from Bunnings for the fat 1/4s and if you fold them to fit it all works quite well. We got the storage drawers from IKEA a while ago but unfortunately they don't have them now.
I have almost all of my stash on comic book boards and love how well things are organized and so accessible. I bought my boards on Amazon. Barb
All you wonderful people convinced me this is the way to go so I just ordered one pack of 100 will see how that goes but I am betting I will need more then that thank you all

Can't wait to see pictures Iris!! I drool over Babs!!! Heck I think I even asked her if she wanted to come to Arizona and fold fabric :-)
I looked again, and I see some wide pieces that may have yardage on some of her boards.. So maybe 2 ish yards per board?
Cool idea!
I'm with Karen, we get a ton of sand and dust and my fabric sits in bookcases so I toss plastic only over the tops (cotton needs to breathe). Low humidity but if you have high -- what about moth balls (yeah I know they Smell!), but they sure can keep moisture from molding cotton

Luckily the high humidity days don't happen too often but the weather is 'changeable'
This week for instance its been 26, 28, 34, 36, 37 (C) with humidity rising and lightning storms (no rain) 2 more days like this then it drops to 24 on Tuesday.
My fabric is in open topped boxes on an IKEA unit
I have been using the comic boards for about a year now. Just love how they help me keep organized! I use 2 boards together when I have 3 yards or more of fabric on a bolt. If you check out the middle shelf of my storage cabinet I have several bolts with 3-6 yards of fabric. You really can store quite a bit of yardage using this method.
