Spinning fiber

I've been spinning up some merino from turtle purl yarns. Any suggestions on other etsy shops that have good fiber for sale at a reasonable price per oz. I'd like to get 8-10 oz to spin. In a single colour/gradient blend... Opinions?

Second attempt at drop spinning is going much better. Practice makes perfect I suppose. This will me a hat when I'm done. Trying to find a pattern that will be forgiving.

Couldn't make the colour match. Not very happy with the long colour change from the crazy zauberball...

Was thinking of selling a few shawls on etsy since I enjoy making shawls however I don't wear them enough to satisfy my desire to knit them. Wondered how much someone would pay for a lace shawl? Most of them require 2 balls and cost 50-60$CAN in yarn so if I could sell a few at 75-80$ I wouldn't mind, I'd get some spare cash to buy more yarn and get to knit more fun lacy things. I've been bored of knitting stuff I wear, like lots of socks... Anyways, what would you pay for a shawl?
