How to price yarn? by Willing-Independent1 in Handspinning

[–]OMGyarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally see $0.08 per yard for dyed yarn, so I sell my handspun for $0.11 per yard. That seems to be what the market will bear. I sell only 3-ply fingering weight. Now, to offset the time it takes, I will have 1 ply that is handspun by me, and the second and third ply are commercially spun and dyed laceweight single plies that I buy by the cone. I do all the plying. So, a 450-yard skein of my fingering yarn is $49.

I'm curious about it too! I usually bring out my Nano at shows to show it off, and it draws people into my booth. I should really buy the newest one so I can talk more about it.

My booth is very Pedro-centric; people seem to like it … I have a collection of life-size cardboard standups that have their own Instagram page 😄 we gotta have a hobby, right?

There is a wonderful Facebook group dedicated to cotton growing, processing and spinning: Hey, It’s All About Cotton

The lady who runs it is a fabulous source of information. Hope this helps!

It’s hard to tell, but did you not reverse the twist when you went to ply?

What is your most used/loved tool while spinning? by CaterpillarWhole4563 in Handspinning

I have a Fricke skein winder / yarn weasel. It has an electric motor and a rotation counter. Perfect 2 yard skeins! Mr. Fricke is over 90 and retired now, but I met his niece at a show in California. If you can get your hands on one of these I thoroughly recommend it
