You could even do a cotton one, that price would prob. be more than acrylic but it would be yet another option for your shop. :) Having lots of options and price ranges will give you a bigger customer base too.Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336062582161613241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596922770523378888.post-89937042777257582032012-06-14T10:04:29.233-05:002012-06-14T10:04:29.233-05:00I agree with the consensus.

Pricing your merchandise based on the materials that are used to make them seems very reasonable.<br /><br />Like Lynn, I'm baffled as to whether I should reply to comments or not... I know I personally LOVE reading comments on my own blog. I assume other bloggers appreciate the same. Instead of sending email response to my comments, I make sure to reciprocate comments to the people who were generous enough to do so for me. My exception to this is questions. If somebody asks a question, I respond. :-Dmkonieczkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732809317180147109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596922770523378888.post-89244385289079085102012-06-13T22:40:26.434-05:002012-06-13T22:40:26.434-05:00Lisa, your headbands look fabulous!

The contrast between the dark yarn and your vibrant handspun is really, really lovely. :) I think offering up an acrylic option would be very thoughtful in regards to wool-allergy sufferers, though, if it were me, I'd make more wool-based headbands just because I like working with wool more than synthetics. As long as you clearly state which headbands are wool and which aren't, and offer up the acrylic headbands at a slightly lower price, I think you'd make everybody very happy. :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296206001598909796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596922770523378888.post-56574286638462733752012-06-13T20:03:48.410-05:002012-06-13T20:03:48.410-05:00Hi Lisa!

I have to admit I'm somewhat baffled about the replying to comments thing- wish I could figure out the best way to tackle that one...Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820020608476655624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596922770523378888.post-35431629792521243902012-06-13T19:22:01.625-05:002012-06-13T19:22:01.625-05:00Like Robin said, I think it makes sense to have tw...Like Robin said, I think it makes sense to have two different products priced accordingly to their materials. <br /><br />As for the wool edging, most people don't actually have an allergic reaction to wool, it's just that their skin is sensitive to the prickliness, so if it's really soft wool it will probably be fine. Most actual allergies are due to the lanolin in raw wool, which shouldn't be much of a problem in finished yarn, as far as I understand it, though I could be wrong (I read all that somewhere but can't remember exactly where).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084243860497287716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596922770523378888.post-19955337932294402762012-06-13T19:02:50.683-05:002012-06-13T19:02:50.683-05:00I love it when kitties hide in funny little places...I love it when kitties hide in funny little places like that.

I'm not sure about your customer base, but I think most people would notice(and be upset if you sent acrylic without telling them since your current description clearly states you use 100% Wool) I think it's totally acceptable to offer a less expensive, allergy free product, just let people know what they're getting and everyone will be happy! Hope this helps some.It's a cute headband. Good luck!RobinBrzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16529036593590503535noreply@blogger.com
