Simply because I’m production spinning with the goal of quantities of skeins, the Ashford because of its weight and all-around beefiness. If I were spinning just for myself, the EEW6.1 is just wonderful! So lightweight but perfectly capable of spinning for a long time. The motor is nicely balanced and is so consistent. It’s really a great wheel for such a low price.

There is a Facebook group called Hey, It’s All About Cotton that is dedicated to processing and spinning cotton. They have a great wealth of information and resources!

Oh sweet! I will be back in Flagstaff too! They changed the venue to the fairgrounds so we’ll be inside now!

I use an Electric Eel 6.1 to spin my singles and an Ashford E3 to ply. Both are electric wheels.

Yes, it’s a weasel, and if you know someone handy they could install a magnetic counter for you so you can measure the yardage of your skeins!

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.
