So you think it would be fun to stay home and do weaving and dyeing all day? Well there is a lot more to it than weaving or dyeing. Take a look into my life as a production artist who dyes about 2,000 lbs of yarn a year, packages her work, and takes it to 6-12 shows a year. How do you package the “goods” yourself, and where does all the time go? Where do you find the undyed base material and at what cost? What do you want to dye/sell, in what weight, why? Where do you find the dyes, equipment, the help/labor? Do you sell on line, hire reps, do trunk shows, develop a new product? Do you want to go big or stay unique? These are all the things you need to consider.
