Old cotton thread probably isn't strong enough to sew with. Somebody may want them for decorative purposes, tho. I'd put them out at your yard sale for $4-$5 and be willing to 'bargain' down if you want to get rid of them.

I've inherited several weaving bobbins/spools still wound with white thread (mostly discolored, some coming unraveled). Does anyone know if they are worth anything and where to sell them if they are? I did a quick check of ebay and didn't see any there. I'm having a yard sale on the 10th and wanted to do a quick check before adding them to the sale.
