Why is natural yarn so expensive?

It would be awesome to knit my first sweater out of something really fine and soft, like cashmere (gasp! only millionaires can knit sweaters from cashmere!) or angora or alpaca, but even mohair and merino wool is beyond my means. I tell you what I'd love is to get a pound of some nice hand-painted lambswool. What a great sweater that would make. But I could buy an already-made sweater for much less than the cost of the wool.

Not fair.

Maybe I should buy a sheep and a spindle...

I'll be knitting with acrylic for the rest of my life. When will I be rich?
