@Ameboid@mastodon.social you see this in the knitting & specialty yarn crafts. People forget how long it takes to knit pretty much anything, & they don’t know what it entails to keep, shear & process fibers like alpaca or angora rabbit 🐇. All they see is a finished hat, gloves, yarn etc. They expect to pay pennies for the hours of labor that went into it. If you take a piece that is knitted in oh, 10 hours, at minimum (National) wage of $7.50 you’re looking at a $75 dollar thing. Forget the price of the yarn.
