All of our yarn pricing is standardized. We don't charge for the time or supplies spent hand dying or hand painting (though that feels like one of the most truly artistic parts). We came up with a standardized model that seems to cover everything, and be fair. The formula is below-
cost of fiber (in oz's) + spinning rate (per yard) = cost of yarn
Though most of the fiber comes from our animals, we spend hours washing and preparing it, and raising the animals. We use "fair market value" if we were to buy the raw fiber in roving to determine the "value". The spinning rate is based on a $10 per hour rate... if I was up to speed (I am still a bit slow). The lock spinning rate is significantly more, because it is a real bear to spin and takes at least 3-4 times the amount of time per yard. I don't double the 2-ply rate,though I should, so consider it a 2 ply discount.
If you want to order fiber for your own project, or want something custom made... here is the "key" to our formula
Fiber cost-
- Angora (rabbit)= $10/oz
- Mohair (angora goat)= $5/oz premium fleece, $8/oz perfect locks
- Baby Alpaca $6/oz
- Lambswool or wool $2.50/oz
Spinning cost-
- 1 ply 10 cents per yard = $10/100 yds
- 2 ply $16/100 yards (2 ply discount)
- Lock Spun 30 cents per yard
