I decided that I wouldn't work for less than minimum wage. I sat down, took the fiber needed to be spun, and timed myself. Ten minutes after spinning I stopped. ....still on the clock... Wound off that fiber on ball, plied it. Then when I was completely finished with plying I checked the time it took. By multiplying and dividing I figured out how much fiber I could spin in an hour. That's how I figure out the amount to charge a person for spinning. If you feel you won't work for less than $5 an hour, then, the amount of fiber you can spin in an hour times the amount of fiber needed to spin equals the total cost.
