What is an ounce of fiber worth?
This varies. In its raw state, an ounce of alpaca varies from $2.00-$5.00. Each stage of the process (cleaning, carding, spinning, knitting, finishing, etc) adds more valuable to the fiber. As a finished garment, it can sell for $10.00 per ounce. Hand knit goods are more desirable and have sold for $1000. 00, in some cases.
