Consideration.
When placing an order, please consider that these blankets are personalized and handmade. These are one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to your needs. This is a craft that is done solely by hands. The attention of the craft is focused on your order.
¿What is crochet?
Crochet is a needlework technique that creates fabric by interlocking loops of yarn using a needle-like hook. Not to be confused with knitting with two needles.

Transparency
For transparency reasons, I’d like to explain the price breakdown.
-
Each ball of yarn is approximately $4.
-
It takes about five (5) balls of yarn to complete an order.
-
Added, the resources used to obtain the yarn can be up to $5.
-
Subtracting the approximate cost of materials ($25) from the total price of the blanket ($100);
-
The remaining $75 is what would compensate my labor, time, and energy.
-
It can take me around seven (7) to ten (10) hours to complete an order. This includes the designing of the blanket. Each blanket is personalized.
-
From a capitalist perspective, my cost of labor per hour could be anything between $7.50 to $10.70 per hour.
-
​Note: I live in California and the minimum wage here is $13 per hour. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.
Con Cariño Care Tips:
-
Hand wash with your favorite soap.
-
Dry by laying the blanket/piece flat (on a towel).
-
Do not stretch.
-
Keep out of direct sunlight.
-
Handle with lots of care and love.
-
Remember: It is handmade.
These "care tips" come from femme and elder knowledge passed down to me by my mother, tias, and grandmother. A lot of the yarns I work with call for the created pieces to be "machine washed and dried." ​
Thank you for your consideration.
