Kate brought up a good point about selling handspun at $7 an ounce. I used to spin much more bulky yarn, taking less time and using more fiber. Now that I spin on a Robin most often, my handspun is much thinner (finer?) using less fiber but taking FOREVER to fill up two big bobbins and plying them. $7 an ounce definitely does not cover the time factor, or the time and effort I took in raising the animals, harvesting, skirting, dyeing, drying, packing, shipping to Georgia for carding, unpacking and stashing when it returns, then sitting down to spin catch as catch can. Whew!!! Do I really do all that?????????
Thanks for helping with that reality check, Kate, my handspun has just gone up to $10 an ounce. If people don't want to buy it I will just add it to my personal stash!! I do knit swatches.....I think it is definitely helpful in selling the yarn. Maggie Alexander To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
