Chapter 167 - Luxury Line

"What? That knitting stuff sells for such a high price, ojiisan?"

"Of course. It's such a comfortable and warm garment. What are you going to do if you don't sell clothes that even Lilina-ojou approves of at a high price?"

"But I thought those sweaters and such would be for the common people...!"

"You idiot. The Barca Knights' Domain is in dire need of money. If we have a product you can sell, why not sell it at a fair price?"

"That's true, but ......"

"And also, think about it, kid. It doesn't matter how low you set the price, right?"

"What do you mean, old man?"

"What I mean is, no matter how low you set the price, there are only a limited number of goats in Barca right now. In other words, you can only get a small amount of yarn. Do you understand this?"

"Of course."

"That means. The people who buy the clothes that you sell at a low price will sell them to other people at a higher price. In other words, no matter how low the price, the clothes will never end up in the hands of the poor."

"...So that's how it works. So it's better to sell them at a fair price from the start?"

"If that's the case, it's better to sell it at a higher price if possible. In other words, it would be wise to think about selling it to the nobility and knights."

"For the nobility. If we sell it to them, the yarn can't be all white, can it? Shall we dye it several colors to add value?"

"That's right. It's beautiful, white yarn, so it can easily be dyed in other colors. If we're going to sell it to the aristocracy, we might want to have someone from the Graham family take a look at it, kid."

"Right. I'll talk to Lilina and Clarisse about it."

　I wonder if it would be better to give the finished knitted items to Carlos once they are finished.

　The added value of the clothing being the official product of the Fontana family seems to be the most effective for price and non-resale.

　If that's the case, it will become less and less for the common people, but I can't help it.

　Well, I guess it makes sense in terms of creating new jobs.

　With that in mind, I started experimenting with dyeing wool yarn in various colors.

"That's amazing, Lilina. You've got the hand of a pro with your knitting."

"Thank you, Ars-sama. I was so absorbed in ....... It's fun to knit."

"I'm not good at complicated stuff like that. I don't know how you don't get confused knitting something so complicated."

　The yarn was dyed in a number of colors, some of which were approved by Lilina and Clarisse, and some of which were selected for production.

　However, it was decided to give all the yarn produced in the prototype stage as a gift to Lilina.

　Apparently, Lilina's original hobby was reading, but she was also interested in sewing.

　That's when she was introduced to knitting, and she immediately fell in love with it.

　That was all well and good, but then she started knitting with all the yarn she had on hand.

　Now she is knitting me an argyle check sweater1.

　Lilina, who was born in this world, is using a knitting style that seems to have originated around Scotland, with a diamond-shaped pattern and plaited lines.

　I told her, "I've heard of "this" kind of knitting, however, I don't know how to knit it," and she seems to have reproduced it herself.

　She had also completed something that looked like a combination of several other colors.

　I wondered if I should ask her how to knit it later so that I could make a manual that others could use for instructions so that they could make it too.

"I'm happy at being able to make such things, however, is it really okay to use so much yarn, Ars-sama?"

"Oh, no problem. The goats' hair grew faster than I thought it would. We're going to have a rather large amount of yarn."

"I'm sure you're right. But you might want to be a little more selective with this yarn, Ars-sama."

"Selective? What do you mean, Lilina?"

"I can't tell for sure because I've only used it a few times, but I think the yarn is unevenly made. Some yarns are smooth and silky, while others are not so smooth."

"So there are differences in the quality of the yarn. I wonder if there is a difference when it is only the goats that take the wool."

"Well, I don't know. Perhaps there is a difference in the quality of the yarn when it is made from soft, downy hair and scabby, overgrown hair, Ars-sama?"

"I see. That's interesting. I'll have to check it out."

　In response to Lilina's suggestion, I decided to look further into goat hair.

　As a result, I found something interesting.

　Apparently, the hair that grows on a goat's body differs depending on where it grows.

　It seems that certain parts of the goat's body have soft and delicate hairs, while other parts are not so soft and delicate, and some parts are stringy, rough, or just plain old stubborn.

　So, I collected only the soft and delicate hairs and knitted them into yarn.

　The result was a frighteningly fine sweater.

　However, the amount of fine hair that can be obtained from a single goat is very small.

　Therefore, I decided that the sweater made from this fine wool would be considered a higher quality yarn than usual.

　When I presented this sweater to Carlos, he seemed to like it so much that he came all the way to Barcania to thank me and Lilina for it.

　In this way, the goat-hair sweater from Barca was officially recognized and sold as the official product of the Fontana family.
