Request Estate Appraisal or Valuation Services

Your yarn, tools, and fiber arts pieces are more than just materials — they hold memories, creativity, and real value. Whether you’ve inherited a loved one’s collection, are planning an estate, or just want to know what your stash is worth, we can help.

Yarn Saver offers professional appraisal services for fiber arts collections of all sizes. Our valuation process uses a proprietary system built specifically for the fiber arts industry — so you’re getting assessments grounded in real market data, not guesswork.

Why Get an Appraisal?

There are a lot of reasons to get your collection valued, and all of them start with knowing what you have.

Clarity & Understanding

Whether you want to sell, donate, keep, or split a collection among family, knowing the value helps you choose wisely.

Estate Planning

If you’re managing a loved one’s collection, an appraisal helps make sure things are handled fairly and thoughtfully.

Insurance & Protection

A documented valuation gives you proof of value for insurance purposes in case of loss or damage.

Resale & Market Insights

If you decide to sell — through us or on your own — you’ll know what your items are actually worth on today’s market.

What We Appraise

Our team specializes in fiber arts and understands what makes these items valuable. We appraise:

  • Yarn – all fiber types, natural and synthetic
  • Spinning fiber – roving, batts, tops, and more
  • Knitting and crochet tools – needles, hooks, accessories
  • Handmade garments and textiles
  • Vintage and antique fiber art pieces
  • Weaving looms and accessories
  • And more – if it’s part of the fiber arts world, we can value it

How It Works

  1. Tell us about your collection. Fill out the form below with as much detail as you can. Fiber types, brand names, conditions, and any history you know are all helpful. Please send photos separately to [email protected].
  2. We research and evaluate your items. Our team reviews your submission and runs each item through our patent-pending valuation system, which draws on current market conditions, item condition, brand data, resale demand, and more to determine value.
  3. You receive a detailed report. We’ll send you an itemized report with values, condition notes, and suggestions for resale or preservation. If you need a notarized copy, just let us know — we can provide one upon request.

Looking to sell? We also buy fiber arts items directly. If you’d like to sell part or all of your collection after receiving your appraisal, we can walk you through our selling process and make you an offer. Visit our Sell Your Yarn page to learn more.
