I was wondering how you price your items…Is there a way or just whatever works best? Typically I sell amigurumi and winter wear/accessories.

Oh wow. What if it’s less than an hour? Should I just divide it up?

How do you know how much materials you used, and how would price the materiels?

Haha I guess too
If you weigh the ball of yarn before (only necessary if it’s partially used) and after the project, you can calculate how much you’ve used (each ball also provides the starting weight on the label).
E.g.
A ball of yarn is 50g and cost $6.00
6 divided by 50 = 0.12 cents per gram.
If the ball weighs 30g after the project is made, 50 - 30 = 20 grams of yarn were used.
20 x 0.12 = 2.4, so the amount spent on the yarn used is $2.40.
You would also need to take into account things like the cost of safety eyes as well.
