Alpaca! September 5th Store Update

Alpaca!  This week we are offer alpaca spinning fibers and yarns.  So soft and luscious and warm.  Even though I live in a mild climate, I am always trying to work alpaca into my spinning and knitting.  Alpaca has wonderful drape.  Blend some alpaca with wool to add drape and warmth. 

A selection of naturally dyed and natural color (undyed) alpaca fiber including alpaca-silk blends.

A selection of alpaca yarns: Alpaca-Merino Worsted Weight, Superfine Alpaca Sport Weight, Alpaca Handspun.

We have also added some wonderful books on spinning and dyeing. 

Stop by the Tactile web store to see it all.

Wool-Cellulose Blends, August 22 Update

Today's update of the Tactile store is BIG!

We have added Merino-Tencel fiber.  It is 50% Merino and 50% Tencel.  It has incredible shine.  This is a fun fiber to felt. 

Merino-Bamboo fiber is a wonderful blend of 60% Merino and 40% Bamboo.  Often the bamboo doesn't take the color as well as the wool, creating a heathered fiber. 

Wool-SoySilk is a blend of 50% soft Wool with 50% SoySilk.  Yummy!

Linen-Merino Sport Weight Yarn is 60% Linen and 40% Superwash Merino.  The dye often strikes the two fibers differently creating a marled yarn.  It is quite nice to knit with and there is just enough Merino to give it some memory.  Try this yarn for warm weather socks or a cute tank top.

We have also added: a Learn To Spin Kit, spindles, a tote bag, a book, a couple of natural color fibers, and more colors of our Merino fiber, Merino-Tencel fingering weight yarn, and Merino fingering weight yarn.

Enjoy!
