Wow! If I read you correctly, they're asking $360.00 for a plain
crocheted shawl. That's like using 9 skeins of $40.00-a-skein yarn.
What are they made of, cashmere and quivit?

Ah. The sweaters at $300.00 are priced like the ones NY city
boutiques.
A plain shawl would be, um, 80 shekels or about $16.00 - that's
not all that high.
150 shekels would be about $30.00 which would be a little high
for a totally plain shawl, but then we expect a higher hourly
rate for our work.
