| 2 ply yarn is standard. It is $1.00 per lb for each additional ply requested. | |||||||||
| Confused on pricing? Here is a single lot example. I want 10 lbs of white alpaca processed into 2 ply sport weight yarn. After processing, there is 9 lbs of sport weight yarn made (less dirt and hay). Therefore, my price is $31times 9 lbs. which is $ 277 plus one lot fee of $20 for a total of $299. My yarn will come standard on cones ready for machine knitting. | |||||||||
| Another example for multiple lot. I want 2 animals processed into lace weight yarn. Each animal is 5 lbs. After processing I have 9 lbs of lace weight yarn. Therefore my price is $33 times 9 lbs. which is $297 and two lot fees at $20 ea. since I wanted each animal kept separate for a total of $337. My yarn will come standard on cones ready for machine knitting. | |||||||||
