Etsy Shop

So I opened an Etsy shop to sale fiber, books, and stuff. Need to add more stuff but every time I make plans something comes up. Last night I was vacuuming up water from the basement because somehow while my daughter was doing her laundry the deep sink was "knocked" off of its base and the pipe came loose. Hopefully none of my stuff stored down there was ruined.

So I have two bags of washed Icelandic fleeces approximately 6 lbs that I started with. I still need to run the rest through the drum carder. One bag is gray and black and the other is white. They have minimal veggie matter. I haven't spun any of it yet because I'm trying to spin as I go. So I am spinning the first fibers I purchased first. I also have a bag of pin drafted roving that I purchased that I'm going to break down into 4 oz balls and sell. It's naturally brown in color. I am reading Etsy's rules to see if I can sell all my old Red Heart yarn stash to get rid of it since I am totally into natural fibers now.
