Pricing Nightmare


This weekend I am part of the Michigan Weavers Guild Holiday Sale.  This is the first time I have attempted to sell any of my weaving.  Pricing is a nightmare.  Still working on how I will be pricing.   I am sure you know that not only can you not get rich weaving, you cannot even pay the bills.  My new goal is to make some money to buy more yarn.  I did a calculation, price of yarn x number of hours (at minimum wage) x amount of commission charged by the center where the sale is.  Not many will spend that for a scarf.  So it is a good thing that I love to weave and enjoy making the items.

Here are two of the scarfs that will be for sale.   I wove them a year or so ago.    I will be adding more pictures to my blog I finish taking pictures of the items.
