Money Issues

Depends who you ask, but generally no. The bigger debate is on string ratio.

One option is to go with Rambam ratio using Raavad strings, thereby making two sets. To quote R’ Avi Grossman: “… you can buy a set of four, full length, Raavad style strings, then cut each in half, and join those eight halves with ordinary strings, and then you’ll have enough techeleth for two garments!” Technically…

It all depends on the amount and length of Techeiles strings. The more blue, the more expensive. It’s that simple. See the following chart (courtesy: Ptil Tekhelet store): Courtesy: Ptil Tekhelet
