Web Summit: Branded £720 jumpers sell out at 'geek Glastonbury'
Given the amount of wool in an Aran sweater and assuming they used local hand spun wool and no retail profit, that's roughly:
£120 VAT
£100 wool
£500 for circa 40 hours work ie. £12.50 p/hr
Obviously, if you go for a machine spun and knitted version then your looking at spending roughly 1/10th of the price.
