somplace down the line, and, i think, 'here,'  someone priced handspun at 
singles, the, if plied, 3 x that price ( 2 singles then run thru again to 
ply.)  i'm sure y'all will correct me and i'd really appreciate that ! 
maybe a year ago?   or MORE

Just a thought. I've tried to keep track of time, when spinning. Something
always interfers and I don't stop the timer or I forget to look at the clock.

By charging by the yard, everyone pays the same amount. It doesn't matter what 
the
weight of yarn or the time I spend spinning it, I'm getting paid for my time.
If the customer doesn't have the fiber, then I charge for the fiber. It's 
simple and
easy to keep track of. 

There have been some doggie blends that we couldn't machine spin, and I 
included the 
processing charges as well. Gail

I have a friend that spins for others. She charges 10 cents a yard for 2 ply 
and 15 cents per yard for 3 ply.
She does basic spinning, nice and even in different weights, fingering, sport, 
etc. She also weaves for others and charges
5.00 foot.

I like it, but it doesn't replace my Reeves. But for doing a large pile of
wool in a way that I can control and enjoy the results it is fun. I even
get paid which seems amazing to me. By the way, the ring spinning frame I
use is from Carolina Specialtys, not McDermott. McDermotts retrofitted an
old spinning frame for us that we use for plying.

Cheers,

Turan
