Maybe there's a thread devoted to it alreadyI can't imagine there isn't unless everybody assumes one just keeps them in boxes.
Anyway, to stay on topic and in answer to your question I have written a blog post about storing scarves. Far too long an answer for here. Different people will obviously need different storage solutions, the most important thing for me is the fundamental underpinning of any storage, and that is organisation. I think anything works so long as it works for them and is aware of any of the pitfalls.
I'm sure you're right, there must be a thread on this and I will search for it. Thank you so much for your response though, papertiger - I will look for your blogpost!

And thanks to merrydish for your info too!
