I think I will take the previous commenters advice too and look into ordering handspun. That sounds so delightful. I came across a site today that has instructions for dyeing yarn in a crockpot. Seriously, who would have thought to do that. I'm going to have to try it. I would love to learn more about photography. Taking a class is high on my list of things to do next. The photo session you linked to was absolutely breathtaking. Oh how I wish I could take photographs like that. Good luck. I too have been considering graduating to a ‘real’ yarn shop.

Etsy is a good place to look as is Hyena Cart. I know a gal who recently started spinning and will be opening her own shop on Hyena Cart pretty soon in fact. While the stuff she has spun for me so far is mostly evenly plied (meaning it's all thick or all thin), she can also do thick/thin, which a lot of that yarn in the link you gave is. It might be harder to find such a yarn at a local yarn shop, unfortunately! Look for handspun yarn. Etsy is a good place to look as is Hyena Cart.
