Let’s do a sample calculation:
Flax cost: 5 gp each
Bowstring sell price: 170 gp each
Profit per bowstring: 165 gp
If you spin 1,200 flax/hour, your hourly profit is:
1,200 × 165 = 198,000 gp/hour
1,200 × 165 = 198,000 gp/hour
If you pick flax yourself, your profit margin increases to the full bowstring price (e.g., 170 × 1,200 = 204,000 gp/hour), but the process takes longer.
