I have a bit of an obsession with scarves and have collected way too many. (There's always just one more colour or pattern I need!)

I keep them hanging over 3 or 4 wooden clothes hangers, but they tend to crease and sometimes slipping off.

If you have more than half a dozen scarves, how do you store yours?

I have my ties and scarves on coat hangers but pegged on. If you get the right pegs and those old fashioned thin wire coathangers you can make each hanger hold about 20 or so, you just slide the pegs through the hanger.

Is this for real?
I've also got too many and keep them folded but stuffed together on the top shelf of my wardrobe. They're the type that creases don't matter though.
roll them up like you would if you were packing for a holiday and put them in a drawer
LOL AB even has an Ad tailored (pun intended) for such an off the wall Q.
Or a really good use or spare hairclips....

My son had every football scarf in the English League. He started to collect the Scottish, Welsh and the lower leagues. Sadly he did not finish his collection.
My obsession too Maidup but mine hang from anything that doesn't move. Ornamental floor lamp in spare room holds six or seven.....A shop dummy torso is draped.....over the door hangers.....anywhere! I won't buy any more....until..
I tend to hang them up in various places-on those over-door hook thingys,or over the bedposts.....I like seeing them.

get one of those round washing line gadgets then you could peg your scarves
I have some on a wall hanger which is meant for jewellery (I have necklaces on it as well... it's a big, tangled mess!)

I have some hanging in the cupboard under the stairs where the coats are kept and I have a bin in my room where I have about 10 scrunched up.

That wasn't a brilliant input was it?!! LOL!

Phew, pleased I'm not alone with my excess scarves!

I might try the rolling dotty, come to think of it I've seen them on sale like that in a very posh shop so it must work. I just need to clear a drawer out, but that wouldn't be a bad thing.

Some other good ideas here too, thanks all.
-- answer removed --
Wrap them in tissue paper and store in a flat cardboard box in a cool place.
If I were to roll them up and store them...I wouldn't see them again for 5 years....

out of sight,and all that.
I use the coat hangers with two clips on, one at one end and one at the other. Silk scarves and stuff I don't want to crease are clipped either without folding or if too big, just folded the once. Woollen scarves just get shoved on my wardrobe shelves.
Wouldn't a tall CD/DVD holder look nice with the scarves rolled in it...not out of sight in a drawer....then we could gaze at them.

I use them too often to pack them away fully, so I think I would look in the drawer if I rolled them up. Not too sure I'd manage the tissue paper and all that, but needing to see them is a good point. Sometimes I'll see a scarf on the hanger and it determinds my whole day!
