destashing
Selling hoarded materials
Destashing is clearing out accumulated supplies, particularly in crafting communities.
Knitters destash yarn, quilters destash fabric, makeup enthusiasts destash unused products.
The practice acknowledges that hobbyists often acquire more materials than they can use: I'm destashing my fabric collection—anyone want some vintage florals?
Destashing typically involves selling, gifting, or trading the excess.
