Tactile Fiber Club
Fiber Club sign-ups are now closed until December.
See examples of previous month's colorways on the
Tactile blog and the
Tactile Ravelry group Fiber Club thread.
.
The concept behind this club is an exploration of the world of natural dyes. Each month will revolve around a specific dye material. Included with each shipment will be an information sheet on the featured dye and the fiber used. It will also have space for you to add un-spun and spun samples. This is a great way to learn about different breeds and natural dyestuffs.
Each month you will receive two bundles of fiber. One will be dyed solid with this monthÂ’s featured dye. The second will be a painted colorway using this monthÂ’s featured dye in combination with other dyes. We are offering a 3, 6, and 12 month subscriptions. If you sign up for 6 months you will receive a 5% discount. If you sign up for 12 months you will receive a 10% discount. With the 12 month subscription you will also receive a binder to hold all of information that you will receive on the dyes and fibers.
You have a choice of two different bases: the Natural Comfort and Natural Luxury.
