Sell or Donate Your Yarn with Ease

Have extra yarn, fiber, or tools you no longer need? We make it easy to turn your stash into cash — or store credit — so your items can find a new home with another maker.

We buy all kinds of fiber arts items: yarn, roving, spinning fiber, tools, project bags, enamel pins, and more. We don’t turn things away based on brand or fiber type. If it’s clean, usable, and something another maker would enjoy, we want it.

You choose how you’d like to be paid:

Store Credit (highest percentage payout)
PayPal Transfer
Mailed Check

We only accept sellers from the United States at this time.

Current total processing time is 3 – 5 weeks.

As of April 11th, 2026

This estimate is based on an assessment with 30 or fewer unique items, starting from when we receive your items to when we send your payout offer.

How It Works

Step 1: Create an account and start an assessment.

Online assessment: You list your items yourself using our system. This gets you our standard payout rates.
Manual assessment — Our team lists and researches everything for you. This option has lower payout rates because of the extra work involved on our end.

Step 2: Get Approved!

After you submit, your assessment enters our approval queue. Depending on how much space we have, your assessment will be marked as either Pending or Waitlisted.

PENDING means you’ll get a decision within a week.
WAITLISTED means it could be 30 days or longer before approval. Larger assessments (100+ unique items or 500+ total items) may wait longer.

Step 3: Ship or drop off your items.

Once approved, you’ll choose a delivery method in your account. Almost all sellers ship their items to us. We recommend using a discount shipping service like Pirate Ship — buying a label at the post office will cost significantly more.

A few important things about shipping:

We do not provide shipping labels, boxes, or packing materials.
You are responsible for all shipping costs.
We strongly recommend buying shipping insurance. We are not responsible for packages that are lost or damaged in transit.
You must select a delivery method and ship/schedule your drop-off appointment within 7 days of approval, or your assessment will be reset to draft and you’ll need to resubmit.

Local drop-off is available by appointment only at our Middlefield, CT office. No walk-ins. Missing a scheduled appointment without notice may disqualify you from selling with us for 90 days.

Pack your items carefully — use sealed bags, separate by brand or type, and include any labels, tags, or receipts you have. The easier it is for us to identify your items, the better your payout will be. Fiber without labels will be weighed and valued by the gram.

Step 4: We receive, Clean, and assess your items.

When your package arrives, we’ll email you a confirmation that is has been Received. All fiber goes through a mandatory 2–3 week freezing process to kill any potential pests before our team inspects anything.

After freezing, your items enter the assessment queue. We price each item using our own proprietary valuation process based on market conditions, item condition, resale demand, age of the item, and more. Our valuations are final — we do not negotiate prices or provide item-by-item breakdowns.

Step 5: Pick your payout.

Once assessment is done, we’ll email you with your payout options. You’ll have 30 days to choose your preferred payment method and provide the necessary info (mailing address for check, email for PayPal, etc.).

If we don’t hear back from you after 30 days and at least two email attempts, your assessment may be marked as abandoned. That means you lose your payout offer and your items. Please keep your contact info up to date in your account.

After you choose, payment is sent within 1–5 business days.

What We Accept

We love receiving clean, well-stored fiber arts items of all kinds — yarn, roving, spinning fiber, tools with all pieces present, project bags without stains or holes, and novelties like enamel pins or fiber-themed tees.

Pack items in bags, include any tags or labels you have, and ship in a well-sealed box with the required paperwork from your delivery instructions.

What We Don’t Accept

We will reject — and may dispose of — your entire assessment if items are:

Infested with pests or show signs of pest damage (bites, holes, eggs)
Water damaged, moldy, or damp
Strongly scented (smoke, perfume, air fresheners, animals, bio waste)
Covered in pet hair that can’t be removed
Severely tangled or damaged beyond use

If even one item puts our inventory at risk, we may discard the whole batch. No payout will be issued. Only send items you’d feel comfortable using yourself or gifting to a friend.

Important Things to Know Before You Sell

Once we receive your items, they become ours. We do not return items to sellers for any reason.
All valuations are final. Once your payout is sent, the transaction is complete and cannot be changed or disputed.
We buy shipments as complete lots, not individual pieces. We do not provide itemized value breakdowns.
If your items can’t be sold but are still in usable condition, we donate them to local community craft groups. Items that can’t be donated are disposed of safely.
