Very pretty! I love the creme brule color! I also love that she uses natural dyes. I've never tried tussah silk, but I hear its pretty nice! (I swear I have the most redneck accent in my mind when I type!)
Heliotrope alpaca loved! also some cute patterns!
The marigold fingering weight yarn is absoultely yummy. very lovely roving too. I wish I knew how to spin.
I love the merino/tencel in raisin or the silk, all are lovely though.
Oh, wow, the Rainbow Yak-Merino Top looks AMAZING!!!! RT'ed @millarca
I love the Coral Linen along with the Orchid Superwash Merino. It was hard to choose!!
Heliotrope alpaca has some gorgeous gradients in it.
Everything they have is gorgeous, but I'm really intrigued by the Camel Survey fiber sampler. Baby camel and tussah? Sounds divine.
love this beautiful grey:
Slate - Superwash Merino-Tencel Fingering Weight Yarn

Too many choices!!!!
I love the Thunderstorm handspun and Berries and Cream Sincere Sheep and Flame!
It is really amazing what Tactile can do with natural dyes. My pic is the Merino Top in the Heliotrope colorway. I am hoping to see them at Lambtown in Dixon this year!
I really like the Sincere Sheep Fiber in Calendula. It is pretty neat that all of her things are naturally dyed and the Sincere Sheep Fiber (and yarn) is from local sheep.

I love the blue spruce colourway of the superwash sock yarn.
Tactile is so wonderful, and there are so many choices I could not make one! I love the blues and violets.
Immediately the algae lace weight yarn leapt out at me. What a lovely subtle color mix.

Oh, I could suffer with anything on this site! I love the raisen colorway!
Really?!? Did I need to go to Tactile's website? Since joining the Phat Fiber folks my wallet has been screaming in agony! I love, love, love the camel/silk fiber. It will have to wait until next month though. The budget have been totally blown out.
Right now, I'm loving everything in the Pomegranate colorway, especially the merino/silk top!
Ooo - I'd love to get some Indigo - Organic Merino Sport Weight Yarn. Very pretty!
This one has MY name on it. I love the birch colorway.

My fav is the Aventurine - Superwash Merino Sport Weight Yarn

The Heliotrope is just gorgeous!
Kelp - Merino-Silk Worsted Weight Yarn looks utterly wonderful!
True to my name, the haze and heliotrope alpacas are wonderful.

There is too much to love here!
I like the samplers where I could try out different types of fibers.
I have to say I love your yak-tussah aeolian in pomegranate. It is gorgeous.
I love colors of Moss - Alpaca Top fiber.
I love the carnation silk lace weight. All the yarns are beautiful, and I can see spending a lot of money at the site.
The Plum Alpaca Merino Worsted Weight caught my eye! I love those purples!

I practically got lost in the on-line store for an hour, gazing at all the lovely things. Each page was as fascinating as the last, but the Organic Cotton Worsted Weight Yarn in Seafoam is my favorite item there.

I love the Amber colorway of the laceweight yarn. lovely!
The Merino-Tencel blend in "Tangerine" really caught my eye! It's such a great color for spring and summer.
Love the carnation Tussah lace weight yarn. Such a lovely color
I'm liking the Dogwood Alpaca-Merino WW. Such a pretty colorway!
Love all their stuff but would have my eye on some merino-silk laceweight in any color!
I love it all! I want it all!! Everything is so Gorgeous!
I love the Merino-Tencel and the Merino-Bamboo. They both look so lovely and with that bit of shine. The colors? Mushroom, Ginko and Lichen. Gorgeous. ~sigh~
Naturally dyed eh? Of course I want some and will FB your contest right away!
So much to love from Tactile - like the organic cotton (I got some in my box, and it's fab!) and the samplers. I'm very tempted by the camelids sampler... I also love the carbonized bamboo and the "Kelp" colorway of merino/silk worsted yarn... As I said, so much to love!
Also, I tweeted! (Knitwithkt)
I love the Indigo - Baby Camel-Tussah Silk Top. Very pretty! I love that these are naturally dyed! So pretty!
I'm a sock junkie and sock yarn has a phenomenal place in my heart and now my goal in life is to try Yak sock yarn! The Brown Yak-Merino 50-50 Top in Lichen is absolutely amazing!
I've browsed Tactile's shop before and everything is so beautiful it's hard to choose a fave. But today, the Dogwood alpaca/merino worsted caught my eye.
I love the Coral Linen! Pretty pretty!
I love the amount of credit / links they have for what / whoever they are talking about on each page of their site. The tempting, tickle my fancy, reach out and grab me, product of theirs, is the "Learn to Spin Kit"
Just one look at the Birch - Alpaca-Merino Worsted Weight Yarn and I was a goner.
I've posted to my blog
I want it ALL, but especially love anything in the Carnation colorway. It's fascinating to see how the color changes from yarn to yarn.
Oh, I just love "Flame" in the Superwash BFL. So spicy and warm.

This was hard to choose. I love the orange colorways: flame, tangerine and marigold. The linen-merino blend (bark) in sport weight looks interesting to knit with.
Love the Marigold Angora/Merino. Pretty!
desertgarden
Mmm...that Flame colorway is so lovely!

I love anything in the Pomegranite color, but I actually plunked money down for the merino-silk lace weight at Stitches. And now I spin and lust after their fiber as well as the sock yarn.
I just think this Sorrel - Superwash Merino Sport Weight Yarn is such an elegant colorway.
Oh, the Ancient Breeds Sampler is lovely - what a great way to try all those fibers!
Tweeted!

These are so beautiful! I had a tough time narrowing it to one favorite, but tonight I choose
Concord Grape - Baby Camel Top. I love the subtle variations!
Oh how I love all of it!
I must have the Sky Alpaca Lace Weight, and the Tangerine Tussah Lace Weight...soo pretty!
I don't know how to spin, but I kind of feel that I must also purchase a spinning wheel through them....

The dew merino silk top is drool worthy...heck all the silk stuff is. I could do a lot of damage there!
The Blue Spruce Merino-Silk Top is my favorite! The colors, and the sheen are both just perfect!

Oh I love the sincer sheep fibers, the berries and cream makes me want to eat it up:)
Wow! What amazing colors! And all natural dyes. I love the cherry merino handspun.
Many beautiful things to choose from, but I'd love some Flame Wendleydale Top.
Love Silver - Undyed Alpaca Sport Weight Yarn
I can just imagine how soft and squishy it is!
also Rt'ed @claymuse
give me any (or all) of the superwash bamboo sock yarn please!! yummy!
I adore the Indigo - Organic Merino Sport Weight Yarn, but there are so many choices!
Oooh, any one of the camel fibers would make my knees buckle. Great shop and great giveaway!
The pomegranate baby camel top is absolutely lovely...
I haven't spun any of Tactile's product--but the Camelid sampler sounds really interesting to me!
:)
I'm loving the spindles & SPINNING WHEELS, as well as the Indigo and the Sorrel superwash merino bamboo sock yarns. Yummy!
I've plurked, twittered, blogged, and it's on my FB.
Oh, the alpaca lace in any color!! The Kelp silk yarn is very lovely too!
I really like the fiber samplers. You get 1 oz of several different fibers to try out; in total, you still get 3-5 oz. of fiber (enough to make a fun yarn), AND you get to play with new/interesting stuff! My favorite is the ancient breeds sampler. I like the idea of spinning fiber from ancient breeds of sheep. You get 1 oz. each of Finn, Gotland, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Shetland. In keeping with this month's theme, i also like the Camelid sampler ;).
How can one choose from this selection? I think I would like to tell people I knit these socks from yak fiber. That would be pretty cool. I also like the idea of supporting local farmers.
Looks like lots of fun stuff! The Handspun Blue Faced Leicester with Silk looks like fun :)
Holy Smokes!! What a shop! I would have a really hard time picking something from this shop because there is just so much to choose from. LOL I did instantly fall in love with the Indigo Baby Camel-Tussah Silk Top. The color is perfect for me!
Oh.. forgot.. this shop is definitely a MUST for Twitter..
i love this Wisteria - Wensleydale Top

I love the dogwood in worsted weight. The samplers for spinning would be awesome too. Oboy there goes the budget.
I've visited Tactile's site more than a few times just to drool over the fibers. Love love LOVE the fact that everything is natually dyed. I especially like the camel and cotton samplers.
I really like the Viola colorway and the natural alpacas.
The Orchid Organic Cotton is beautiful, and looks so soft!
My top two fav's are the Pomegranate Organic cotton and the Slate Merino - such rich pretty colors! Plus the sock yarn in the giveaway is terrific too!
