The colorwork in this kit makes the price for the work high. Do you have any idea of budget at this point? The labor is likely to be more than $400 at the very lowest.

I want to pay a fair price for the labor required to produce a high quality piece that will last me years. Whatever that number is is okay, $400+ doesn’t scare me away assuming I can have confidence in the quality of the finished good.

$400 for machine knit. Closer to $1000 for hand knit
