I've now made 67 sales in 9 months and I feel like that is great for being a part timer at Etsy.

You have lovely yarns and I think it'll be a huge draw that they are mostly recycled. <BR/><BR/>Have you tried promoting off-etsy? Online social networking sites(Myspace, Flickr, other yarn sites)? How about off-line promoting? Maybe teaching a class a local craft store?

The link below the pictures above goes to your other blog, and then I have to scroll down to find the actual Etsy link. It's kind of frustrating.<BR/><BR/>You might think about donating some yarn to get your name out there. Julie at Fricknits is doing a fund raiser for Ravelry and accepting prize donations.

Hang in there, continue to let crafters and non-crafters know about the shop as well. I have a link in every email I send out, and I made up little cards to give to family and friends.
