Craft Pricing Problems

How to Price Your Craft

Do you have any advice or guidance you can give on selling hand knit items?

I always have difficulty with pricing. How do you price this type of piece work?

Thanks,

You don’t describe your items or how intricate they are. If they are well done, high demand items, perhaps a christening gown, they will be worth more than a potholder.

In a nutshell: you need to do market research.

The For Profit section of this website walks you through the process step-by-step, while Maximizing Your Price addresses the craft pricing problem specifically.

Be sure to take the demo tour of Make Your Price Sell

This program turns craft pricing into a science.

Another great resource on pricing is The Basic Guide to Pricing Your Craftwork.

If you are having trouble setting a price, these resources will give you very specific help.

When you need a break from all the studying, go to the Craft Ideas section and read the cute story, For the Love of One's Craft: Crocheting.
