hey fiberpeople - hypothetical question

[kismet09]

would you be more likely to buy a skein of (wool/merino blend, worsted weight) hand-dyed yarn at $10 for 165 yds, or $15 for 250 yds?

$15 for 250, but I think I might be swayed by seeing the two prices together right now.

I'd lean towards the $15 for 250, but I tend to gravitate towards larger quantities anyway.

Ditto for me, although it's somehow psychologically easier to plunk down $10 for something... :)

$10 for 165, I think. Probably because I don't knit big things yet, I tend to look at price more than yardage.

I'm thinking $10 for 165, although $15 is a better deal - it's true, paying ten is easier, somehow. But seeing them together does help and makes me more likely to pay $15.

they're practically the same -- almost exactly 6 cents a yard... 10 cents cheaper at 15 for 250, but yeah, 10 cents... i just can't decide how to split the most recent skeins.
