    It is definitely in the carpet.......sofas are relatively new and were scotch and moth proofed before they arrived. The carpet fitting firms locally (I asked around) all specify the room should be empty :(. It is was just one item of furniture we could probably move it into next room but there are too many large items. Good point about fumigating sofas while in storage. And yes carpet is wool or what is left of it!
