Silk storage



Hello textile conservators

I am looking for suggestions on how to best store a long strip of dyed (or painted) silk, approximately four inches wide and  five feet in length.  The piece is very lightweight, with some tearing and/or shredding of the silk in spots.  Would rolling it on a tube cause further damage?

Thanks,
Diana
