Used wool jumpers in Canada typically sell for C$23 to C$105 (about $16 to $74). Wool knitwear is judged on how it has been washed, since one hot wash permanently ends a jumper’s life.

Selling a wool jumper in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold it to the light to reveal moth damage
- Check the cuffs recover after stretching
Getting it ready
- Hold it to the light and check for moth holes, which are small, round and easy to miss indoors.
- Read the composition and note whether it is lambswool, merino, shetland or a blend.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, on a contrasting surface
- The composition label
- Any hole or thin patch, against a light background so the size is clear
Put in the description
- Pit-to-pit and body length laid flat
- Number and size of any moth holes
- Neckline style and whether the ribbing has stretched
Fibre, style and size: “100% Lambswool Crew Neck Jumper, Forest Green, Size M”. Name the specific wool — merino, lambswool and shetland are searched separately and priced differently. Say if it is a recognised knitwear brand.
Light and compact. Fold with tissue and use a waterproof bag, since wool absorbs any damp in transit.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$104 a buyer pays is the C$104 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a wool jumper in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Has it shrunk?
Give the flat measurements rather than the label size. Wool that has been machine washed can be a size smaller than stated.
What ruins a wool jumper?
A hot wash. Felting is permanent and cannot be reversed, which is why washing history matters more than age.
Is de-pilling worth the effort?
Very much so. A few minutes with a fabric shaver is the difference between looking tired and looking cared for.
