After much hemming and hawing, and wondering if I was crossing all my i's and dotting all my t's, I finally give to you...
Spencer Hill Spinning and Dyeing.
It's up, and it even has a few things for sale.  I have more items to post, but I need to retake a few pictures.  That should be more successful when the sun is out.  Of course, around here, that could mean next May, so if it doesn't happen in a day or two, I'll go ahead and use the ones I have.  (They're fine, but I just would like to do it a leetle beet differently.  See that?  I've been in business all of 24 hours, and I'm already changing things.)
I don't regret taking as long as I have, really.  But escape velocity has been achieved!  I hope you'll come take a look...any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Typos, grammatical errors, suggestions for future products, anything.  I've already had a request for a fiber club, which I think is a great idea...once I can reliably dye unspun fiber without turning it into a felty lump.  I want to get some handspun up there too.  I haven't sat at the wheel in a while.  Actually, there's a question for you: when it comes to Etsy purchases, are you happy buying the usual four-ounce lots you see of handspun/hand-dyed yarn, or would you like to see larger quantities?  Like, a sweater's worth?  Handspinning a sweater's worth of yarn is no small feat, but I'm talking about hand-dyed millspun yarn, too (especially since I'm not going into the "handpainted" category; I suppose what I do is closer to kettle dyeing).  Let me know whatcha think.

It looks great. If you're ever interested in a pattern+yarn sort of club, please keep me in mind. I've been looking for a dyer to partner with and I love designing for kettle-dyed!
