I am moving. I have lots of breakables, but also lots of yarn and soft craft supplies. Tonight I found that you can mix them and save on newspaper, time, bulk and more.
Just put your yarn or soft items in the bottom and sides of your containers, and the breakable/s in the center. They will be safer than pieces of paper and you are making double use of your space.
N-JOY!

That's a wonderful idea!
Thanks. I have done this for a long time, I don't know why it took me so long to post it!!
I've used my kitchen towels, bath towels, wash cloths, sheets & pillow cases.
All good too! I forgot how much I did with clothes and am finally finding them!
Good idea. I have a lot of yarn, also. However I'm in the last home I'm going to ?I've in.
It has been a long time since I last moved, and I don't plan to move again anytime soon. However, we recently needed to send a package to our son in basic training and didn't have any bubble wrap or newspaper. So, I grabbed a lot of the plastic shopping bags we accumulate (in spite of using the cloth recyclable bags we have, and I make) I wadded the bags up and stuffed them around what we were sending. The items we sent were not fragile. Formerly when I packed some keepsakes for storage.
And don't forget the mismatched socks in the rag bag for extra cushion.
