[AlpacaTalk] Fiber shelf life

I posted this question elsewhere, but have gotten no bites yet. I
think it was on this board that someone mentioned farms storing fiber
in their barns or garages or whereever, and that this fiber is probably
not usable now. I was looking through some ads for fiber, and came
upon an ad for rovings from a 2001 clip. Assuming that is a corretc
date, and that it is actually still for sale, is it really possible to
keep a fleece for 6 or more years and still have it usable? Is there a
difference between raw fiber, rovings, knitted, as long as bugs and
mold are not present?
