Question for fiber folks about moths:
Last night, I forgot I had these skeins out drying until after dark. When I went to bring them in, a moth flew up from one of the skeins. These are a blend of wool and dog fur.
Should I be worried that the moth might have laid eggs in the yarn? Should I throw them in the freezer or do something more drastic? I'm keeping them well separate from the rest of my stash for now.

@Paws2Spindle@sunny.garden understanding both that 1) not all moths are clothes moths, and 2) I can’t ID moths to save my life, I’d probably toss them in the freezer. I’ll add that it’s not just freezing - you need to freeze - heat - freeze https://www.housedigest.com/1504764/laundry-protect-sweater-moth-pest-freezer/
