Welcome to the store blog for Tactile.  While we are busy getting the online store together we are also making luscious product, all dyed with organic and earth-friendly natural dyes.

Yummy Merino-Tussah roving.

Shiny Merino-Tencel roving.

We have so much more to show you.  There are five different sock yarns, organic merino yarn, alpaca-wool yarn, and organic cotton yarns.  For the spinners we have wonderful fibers like tussah silk, camel, blue faced leicester, alpaca, yak, bamboo, organic merino, and much, much more.  Pardon my enthusiasm, but it is like working in a candy store.

We also have books, spinning wheels, patterns, kits, and tutorials coming.

If you want to join our email list, please send an email hidden; JavaScript is required.   Folks in the  San Francisco Bay Area can join our regular Spin & Knit groups; join our Google group for more information.  We will keep our upcoming events at the top of the page.

For those of you who don’t know us already, we are Brooke and Maia.  You will find links to our personal blogs (fiber oriented of course!) in the side bar.  We started Tactile almost a year ago and have been selling at fiber festivals and through our local get-togethers .  We are spinners and knitters, dyers and weavers, wives and dog lovers.  Did I mention the love of fiber?  We are so lucky to be Tactile and to work with yarn and fiber every day.  It is by far the best job I have ever, ever had.  May this be a long and wonderful ride!
