Pricing poll

Since this is my first craft fair, I'm a little reluctant about prices. Please let me know if you think these are too low or high. I know it's hard without seeing the merch, but give it a shot. The scarves are knit with mostly Lion brand yarns with two strands on big needles. I don't know if that should affect the price or not. Obviously if I'd

The last craft fair I went to had handmade scarves going for $35-$150. While that's a little much, and I know the materials were cheap, don't sell yourself short on the value of your time!

Thanks for the info! I'm still contemplating.

I can't wait to see them all. I think you are going to do some really good business :)

pay yourself a decent wage now, when you're starting out. $12 is way too low for a scarf, no matter the yarn.

You need to at least cover the price of materials, but also pay a decent wage for how long it took to make them. If the scarves took 3 hours, and materials cost $10, I'd charge at least $40 for them.

Actually, looking at the prices, I'd almost double everything you've got here. You can always cut your prices down with discounts later.

I agree.

Don't forget that with all the vendors, people will have much to choose from. You might want to give a good deal as a way of at least getting your name and work out there, so when betsyrae.com time comes around, people will be familiar with it.

Just a contrary opinion <3
