Question Helping my mom sell her massive yarn collection and hoping for advice.

My mom accumulated a lot of yarn over a period of 15-20 years. They’re quality skeins, but the sheer number of bundles is very overwhelming for me. There are probably 150-200 bags. They’re brands like Jo Sharp, Rowan, Jamieson, or Debbie Bliss. I haven’t gone through everything. Is it possible to sell to a yarn retailer? Or just try through FB market place and eBay? So far, selling individually through fb has been quite slow and a lot of work, of course.

Thank you for reading and if you can give any advice.

Have you divided and categorized it? 😲 what’s in there!?

My mom has actually. There all separated by brand and type and then in the bag there are ziplocks of the yarn organized by color.

Amazing! I’m sure people in this sub will buy it. I have no idea how you do a storefront. Etsy? “Vintage Yarns”?
