Find a boutique type store that sells hand-knit. That would be in cities, resort-type areas. The woman I mentioned -- she hand cards, spins and looms the wool. Not just any wool either. She's also a got a gift for pattern and color. Her stuff look's top-shelf, stylish, rich. I can't recollect if she's the one who only uses natural dyes. There's a sort of guild of weavers locally -- I've happened to talk to them once or twice when they meet in a hall I have some other meeting at. They take the stuff very seriously although not as anal about it as the re-enactors. The weavers have a good humor and willingness to talk at the level of their listener.
I've been remembering lately a high-school varsity letter type sweater my grandmother knit for me years ago. A great sweater and full of her love, and it fit and was nifty looking too. Wish I still had it.

I mostly knit with whatever yarn I have available. I did try spinning once, and plan on doing some more when I have more time and can get the wool. I can see how someone could get a lot more for things knit from homespun wool.
I'm not sure if that would work for me, (I may need to hone my knitting skills a little more) but you have given me a great excuse to devote more time to knitting and spinning. :)
