Some of the yarn is going on the Guild trading table and some straight into the donate bag, but some of it I'm selling. Selling is hard work - photograph, list, negotiate, weigh, box, take to Post Office. It has to be a substantial amount to make it worthwhile. I'm allowing myself to spend what I make on knitting or sewing related things, so that's a bit of an incentive.
The average keep rate per box of yarn is about half. That's not a bad average so far.
