A friend of mine would spin a certain small amount of wool and figure the time it took her to spin that many ounces. She could then spin the yarn as time permitted, weigh it and figure the hourly amount based on her sample. So if it took her an hour to spin 2 oz. finished and she wanted $X amount an hour and she spun 8 oz, she could take her hourly amount times 4 and come up with the the labor part and then add on the cost of the materials. Hope this makes some sense.
