Etsy Beetsy
I'm kind of peering at Etsy and being fascinated. Especially with the stashes of hand spun I have at home, that it would be cool to find a home for. Hm. I have to admit that I spin much faster than I knit, and I have three or four bunches of hand spun laceweight wools from back when it was too hard to buy commercial lace weight yarns. I know

Hm. One and a half miles of two-ply in about two ounces of superfine merino that I'm still bemused about as I actually *lost* the end of a small batch of the singles when I was plying, it was that thin. I'm still undecided about actually selling that one, as it still makes me think about what I *can* do.
Two or three skiens of a sparkly autumn multicolor. It's not quite as insane as the white, more about the weight of KnitPicks Shadow. Each skein is probably around 2 ounces and all together it's likely enough to make a good, square Shetland style shawl.
Miscellanious white laceweights, that are all a little different, some from CVM, some from other sheep, some fuzzier, some smoother. Each about 2 ounces. I think there are three or four of those that are probably usable (i.e. without floating strands where they broke). Likely very dyeable.
I think one 2 ounce skein of grape laceweight with sparkly bits that might make something small.
And when I say laceweight, I'm mostly talking at least 200 yard per ounce range. Not fingeringweight someone might use for lace, which I've seen a bit too much of on Etsy lately.
