Would it be economical to spin my own yarn?

About how many yards of worsted yarn can you spin from of a pound of raw fleece/wool? Does it come already dyed or do you have to dye it aftewards?

How much does it end up saving you on each skein of finished yarn (estimate)?

Thank you everyone.

Typically, one pound of worsted weight wool yarn is equal to about 900 to 1200 yards. Most raw wool needs to be scoured (cleaned with something like Dawn dish washing liquid) and prepared into roving (by carding). If you were able to use the full pound of raw wool, and spin the maximum amount of worsted weight yarn (1200 yards) it would cost you anywhere from $20 to $200 for the same amount, depending on the fiber content.
