Second Chance Nook

Turn Your Stash Into Cash

NOTICE: Please email about bringing in items for Second Chance. With rare exception, we accept items the first week of the month only (the 1st through the 7th). Email info@heritagespinning.com.

Our Second Chance Nook includes gently used equipment, yarn, current and OOP books, and more. Come poke around and see what treasures you find. If you already have too many treasures — or fiber-y things that need a new home, bring them here. Are you a member of SABLE (stash accumulation beyond life expectancy)? We can find some of your stash a new home so you can have space for new treasures.

There are any number of life milestones that require stash reduction or liquidation. Sometimes, we simply find that our stash needs tamed, or we really love _____ (fill in the blank) more, and need to create room for the new. Whatever your reason, we are here to help. Send questions to info@heritagespinning.com.

When we accept: Items for consignment and donations to Knit Michigan are accepted the first week of the month, the 1st through the 7th. Donations to support the shop may be dropped off at any time. 

What we do not accept: antique equipment, old yarn (if the label is yellow/brittle and/or the tape is falling off, it is old), big box store yarn (Hobby Lobby, etc), straight needles or old circular needles, magazines, individual patterns, partial balls of yarn, or partially completed projects. However, old pastel colored straight aluminum needles may be donated and we will pass them on to a jewelry artist.

What we do accept: Books, full skeins of yarn, modern tools including spinning wheels, looms, hand cards, drum carders, knitting needles, hand combs, notions, etc. We will accept some other items, just ask before bringing them in. Please email photos of looms ahead of delivery because of their size. 

When bringing things in: please put your name and contact info on every bag, box, object. We will also have a contract for you to fill out when you arrive at the shop, which you can preview here (feel free to print and fill it in before you come).
