Not good? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves/page/2#post-1768812 Sat, 14 Jan 2017 17:35:12 +0000 Echo 1768812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, keep mine folded in the closet. I have them in a flocked box that I can remove from the closet to better see the contents. I have tried keeping them over the plastic loops or knotted on a bar, but I cannot bear the wrinkling that occurs. By gently folding them (and by happenstance it is never the same fold twice), they do not develop wrinkles that stay. Indeed, they look pressed each time I put them on, despite them only being occasionally pressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves/page/2#post-1768800 Sat, 14 Jan 2017 16:43:25 +0000 Rambling Ann 1768800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The best was when I took a hanger with hooks at the end and strung a shoelace or something, knotted. Each knot secured a plastic clothespin. I could clip several scarves to each pin, and all hung in the space of a jacket but I could get to anything easily, and no wrinkles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves#post-1768790 Sat, 14 Jan 2017 15:43:32 +0000 Anonymous 1768790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A Woman Cave is the answer.

Right now I am using Chris's system of hanging some of them over those velvet hangers, which then hang on a hook mounted (unfortunately ) on the outside of my closet door. Which of course makes them visible and looks crappy, but I have no-where else to hang them. &nbsp;I also bought one of those stacked circle hanger-things from Ikea but it is a dumb thing that requires a lot of closet space and still hides some of what is looped through the circles. I want a woman cave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves#post-1768525 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 17:00:58 +0000 Astrid 1768525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have a scarf drawer and keep the folded scarves in there. It's also a good way to keep me from buying too many, for a while I had a habit of collecting a lot of them. And they don't attract dust this way, like they do with open storage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves#post-1768522 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 16:49:23 +0000 Chris987 1768522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For lighter scarves, I&nbsp;hang them on one of those flat velvet hangers (a regular clothing hanger)&nbsp; in a row on the bottom width&nbsp;of&nbsp;the hanger. I just loop them over once, no need to tie any sort of knot because they don't slip. I put the hanger right on the closet rod next to other clothes&nbsp; but if you had more room than I do the hanger could go on a hook somewhere else. I have two of them.</p> <p>For heavier outdoor scarves, I have one of those cloth&nbsp;hanging shoe things you put over a closet rod, and I roll up the scarves and put them into the cubbyholes. I store knit hats and gloves the same way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves#post-1768513 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 16:12:18 +0000 Sisi 1768513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When out of season, folded and put into a box inside a closet. When they come out to be used regularly, I roll&nbsp; and put them into a round metallic box (former cookies box:)) &nbsp;inside a drawer of the chest of drawers. This way they are easy to pull out/&nbsp;put away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves#post-1768511 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 16:08:16 +0000 RobinF 1768511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! MsMary, I love that idea, sure wish I had room in my closet. I'm thinking the box idea could be best but I'll have to clear off some shelves.

Similar to cynthiawalkersmith, except I just tie them on the rods - no curtain rings. &nbsp;I wish I was home so I could take a picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves#post-1768490 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 14:58:11 +0000 cindysmith 1768490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Folded and stacked in a cabinet over the bed in our RV. Totally unacceptable and impractical, but the best I've got for now. When we build, I've seen ideas on Pinterest that involve towel bars/curtain rods mounted to walls/backs of doors that you draped scarves over...</p> <p>Nevermind my inadequate description. Screen caps attached. </p> <p>I'm currently using a curtain rod for necklace storage (pic of my actual setup attached) and once I have room to expand upon this idea I think it will be good for those lighter weight scarves as well. I'm loving it for jewelry storage, it keeps them from getting tangled, it keeps them very visible so I wear them more often, and it cost very little to do: I bought a $3 curtain rod and 2 packs of curtain rings with clips on them ($3/pack of 6). I'd probably go with just round shower curtain rings for my scarves rather than a clip that puts all the stress on one spot, but the clips are great for jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves#post-1768484 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 14:41:31 +0000 DizzyLizzy 1768484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My silk and lighter scarves are folded and placed in a shallow long drawer. My heavier scarves are draped over two long bars that runs the length of one wall in the walk in wardrobe. I have way too many scarves.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-scarves#post-1768483 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 14:39:41 +0000 Suz 1768483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Janet said, and does. I have an identical system. Imperfect, but acceptable. I do sort them by season, too, and fold and store the out of season ones in another place. So it is just my winter wool and silk and other warmer indoor scarves in the box now.&nbsp; </p>
