"What insects damage woolens in Colorado? Very few insects have the ability to digest wool. Among the few which do are larvae of the webbing clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella) and the carpet beetles (Dermestidae). In Colorado, carpet beetles are far more common and damaging to woolens than are clothes moths."

As others have pronounced, it somewhat is cedar you're relating. The heady scent of the cedar mask the scent of wool, conserving the moth from laying her eggs on the wool. eastern pink Cedar is assumed to kill moth larvae over a volume of time.
