I have a problem I was hoping someone might be able to help me with. My mom and dad used to braid wool rugs when I was young - probably more than 50 years ago. They have left 2 big industrial drums of the rolls of wool, and wool pieces in the locker that I am trying to clean out. I remember that they paid a lot for wool back then, and it seems like it is still expensive to buy, and I just don't know enough about it to make any kind of determination on how much it might be worth if I can find someone who is interested. I live in Calif, so it wouldn't be of interest to you, but thought I might try Craigs list or something to see if I can't sell it for a reasonable price.
I think there are about 60 large reels of wool and then pieces of wool, blankets, and so on. I also have all the rugs - although they are quite worn, but still servicable - a couple are room sized, and I just don't have room for all of them.
Thanks for any advice!!

| Thanks Monica!! I have done that, and it's really hard. Some of mine is rolled in strips into large rolls, and some is just remnants of this and that - all wool, but not sure what. Some I found online looks to be $15 a pound and some can be that much for a small roll, but I don't know what kind of wool mine is - probably mixed. But you have given me some ideas, and yes, I can take some pictures!! I really appreciate the help!! |

Also, try Craigslist, you can get advice from people in their Arts and Crafts section
