To list or not to list




I am sometimes undecided as to list an item or not. Lot's of work has been put in to knitting these so can you really make money for your time as well as your supplies?




The yarn in the pink scarf is a wool yarn that is 8.00 a skein and it took 2 skeins to make it as well as a while to knit it then to felt it. So what would be a fair price to me and the buyer.




I have noticed when doing a search on etsy that prices vary . Some seem to have things that may seem to be a little pricey and then I notice some that some seem to sell their items maybe to low.




On the pricey items you have to ask yourself, how long did it take to make this and what was the cost of yarn. Now knitters and crocheters most of us have a general idea about the cost of yarn. Was it bought at a yarn shop or perhaps at a craft store. Was it knitted or crocheted


if you do both you know crocheting does go alot faster than knitted items But to someone who dosen't knit or crochet how do we explain that in our product description.




Please leave some comments and let's discuss the ways
