Would it be better to split this wool

| 1 | I had buyers remorse and want to sell the wool (see my listings). I haven't had much luck so far, so was wondering if it would be better if i made them so much per ball, rather than trying to sell the whole lot together? robert-trademe - 2021-05-29 10:59:00 |
| 2 | You say " wool " when it's actually acrylic .I feel you are asking too much for it ,but that's just my opinion . lyndad59 - 2021-05-29 11:15:00 |
| 3 | Personally I wouldn't pay more than $3 -$4 for 100grams of acrylic. if you want a sale you might need to lower your prices. Fine to sell as a lot though. kiwicarol - 2021-05-29 11:35:00 |
| 4 | I think it's a bit expensive for acrylic myself, whether in a bundle or individual balls. As the poster above says, three or four dollars would be more realistic. hound31 - 2021-05-29 12:42:00 |
| 5 | I think you would need to drop your price cos that is expensive for acrylic. I buy acrylic and I wouldn't pay that much. I would put a Per Ball price on it, saying that there is so many balls available. Good luck with your sale popeye333 - 2021-05-29 12:52:00 |
| 6 | Hi there I paid 6.90 for each ball in February hence the price. I just wool to mean anything you knit with so hadn't thought people would think i meant sheep wool. Oops. I would love to know where you are all getting 12 ply acrylic from at only 3 - 4 dollars for 100g. Anyone have a link?

| 8 | Try selling by ball and point out that they are 100gm balls. jayemtoo - 2021-05-29 14:02:00 |

Wow you are really lucky to find enough wool to knit an adult cardigan in an op shop. I barely find enough in mine to knit a baby hat! And of course that doesn't give you much control over the colour...... robert-trademe - 2021-05-29 14:29:00 |

| 13 | I used to knit sometimes.. but I had thought that having the same batch number was important to some? urbanrefugee54 - 2021-05-31 11:00:00 |
| 14 | I find a lot of traders are overpricing their yarn, esp the old 1 oz balls, Either they don't know the going rates, or are just plain greedy. The are asking current retail prices for a 50g ball for their 28g balls. A couple of IN TRADE are regulars at this. voyager4 - 2021-05-31 13:25:00 |
| 15 | Also, Spotlight and Crackerjack have some good deals on yarn voyager4 - 2021-05-31 13:27:00 |
| 16 | robert-trademe wrote: Also the buyer will have a shipping cost to pay (unless they can pick-up) so they will factor this in for the 'actual' price that they have to pay. A lot of the yarn that finds it's way to Op Shops is coming from 'stashes' of people who are either down sizing or have died/become unable to knit anymore. Also some op shops will de-construct hand knitted garments which whilst in excellent condition, are no longer fashionable and won't sell.

| 17 | Crackerjack has acrylic yarn cheap, and I saw in Spotlight packs of 30 balls 5 x six colours DK acrylic for sale at $27. It felt nice and soft too. Touted as baby yarn. voyager4 - 2021-07-01 15:49:00 |
