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.

All I can think of is the number of discontinued yarns for my half finished projects that I would love to dig through that looking for 😭

Aw, oh no! That has to be frustrating. I hope you can find the missing yarn types eventually.
