Any market for skeins of 100% wool yarn?

In addition to the thousands of yards of fabric I inherited, I also got hundreds of skeins of 100% wool yarn. They're all in perfect condition with no damage of any kind, with multiple skeins of each color. So much wool.

textile show at the fair grounds. Lots and lots of people there, knitters, all wearing wild sweaters.

I think there is a big market for it.

When it is found, it's not in full skeins.

I was just looking at the 100% wool available - half skeins mostly or smaller in some fugly colors. Then again, people might think the gorgeous jewel-tone wool I have is fugly and I'll just have to knit a billion sweaters
