Finally and at last, I have set up my Etsy store. It isn't complete, by any means, but there are enough seductive yarns, fibers, and tools to at least look mostly like a Real Shop.
All of the yarns were custom-spun specifically for fine lace knitting--giving crisp-looking stitches, but blooming with a little halo after a wash-and-block. I hope to increase the number of custom yarns to eight or so. For now there is a lot of:
Harry is working hard at adding other items and as soon as he returns from his karaoke bartending class, I'll make sure he uploads some more stuff.
I hope you at least enjoy looking at our shop. Of course, both of us would be especially delighted if you bought something, but I refuse to follow Harry's suggestion that I whine, wheedle and beg. Until later. If needed. Do take a peek and have fun!

- Love Potion #3: 36/2 cobweb lace yarn; 35% cashmere, 35% silk, 30% merino
- Sheherazade 36/2 cobweb lace yarn: 50% camel, 30% cashmere, 20% merino
- 30/1 plying silk for spinners
- Folca boxes

Ooo, lovely stuff! Are you dyeing it yourself, and are you accepting custom orders?
That Folca box looks neat. May I recommend adding the box's dimensions to the description?
Best of luck with your store!
Congrats!! I'm off to look. See ya later.
Congratulations! [sending a virtual bouquet for the grand opening!]
Congrats congrats congrats...
Though you are so evil, evil I tell you
The yarns are yummy -- but could you give yardage? This-- "Yardage is sufficient for a single large shawl or two smaller shawls." -- doesn't help me enough. Is that 2400 yds? 2000? 1800? more? Less??
Erm, Cheryl, the yardage is given in the title of the item. Thanks for looking!
Oh, goody! I was just thinking of writing you today to ask about finding finer lace yarns. I'm finally ready to embark on a finer shawl.
Your store looks great! But you make it hard to choose - hmmmm, will you have gift certificates?
Congrats on the new Etsy site! The Green Woman (Who, by the way, would like to thank Harry for his kind invite, but as usual is so flighty that she skipped off before giving an answer...) and I found it very tempting indeed!
Congratulations on your new shop! I don't quite have the patience for cobweb, but I will keep an eye on your shop in case you decide to add some heavier lace weight yarns.
Wishing you a lot of success and satisfaction!
How dare you tempting us like this...
Congratulations - the yarns look beutiful, and the dyeing looks like it will show off lace patterning perfectly.
Beautiful beautiful yarn. I wish I knitted lace. Grabbed me one of those fab boxes.
Wonderful shop! I could not resist cashmere roving, that cute little Folca box or the wonderful silk for plying. Congratulations :-)
Oh Congratulations... Looks lovely fibre & yarn... I will be keeping an eye on your shop.... and am so pleased form taking a quick peek before I went to bed last night to this morning you've had quite a few sales....
Congratulations! I'll definitely be checking out your stock for my next big lace project. I'm not enjoying the yarn I'm using at the moment at all!
Is it a sign of how beautiful your yarns are, or how weak willed I am that within 5 minutes of learning about your shop I've placed an order???
I blame the beautiful yarns. The colours are absolutely stunning.
Color me tempted!
congratulations! looks good. once i knit through a few thousand meters of lace, i'm sure i'll be buying. good luck.
I, too, love teh subtle coloring. You didn't have any boxes when I looked earlier. I had checked last week or so when I noticed the link on your sidebar. I didn't realize this was so new. Congratulations!
My Dear Fleegle,
Much success in your new venture. I have bookmarked your site for ease of purchase.

Tempted for now, but I can tell that the drooling-over-yarn stage is fast approaching. That is usually followed by credit card jumping into my hand. Uh-oh...
Yay!!!!
Woot! May your life be filled with beautiful fiber, your fiber saturated with lovely colors, and your etsy store with ever increasing sales.
OMG, No! How could you tempt me thus? An Etsy store of lace and knitting goodies? This is wonderful news for me and bad news for my supposed yarn diet and my husband.
Oh, congratulations Fleegle! It all looks really beautiful. May you enable the entire lace knitting population :D (ok, 'nearly' all of it ;p)
