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.
