Is it normal that i like the feel of rubbing fabric between my fingers

I have had this strange compulsive urge to 'roll' fabrics in between my fingers since i was a baby. It had gotten so bad when i was a teenager that if i was standing behind a stranger I would reach out and 'roll' part of their coat or t-shirt in my fingers (Weird i know, I got it under control) but even now that i am twenty five i find the urge is stronger then ever especially when i am in an 'idle' mode like standing without moving my hands and i am always doing it without knowing. I even do it to my children's clothes when i am putting them to sleep or falling asleep myself. Is there a professional name for this? I know there are many out there that have this same problem but i wish i could give it its true label. I just love the feel of rolling my khaki pant leg near my shin where there's more fabric or any t-shirt fabric that's rough but smooth. I always thought i was really weird but maybe its more common than i thought

    I'm not sure if it's normal, but it seems fairly harmless if a bit awkward to explain to a stranger.

    I do it too. God! I thought i was the only one! I like stiffer fabrics...then i roll the fabric upto a point where i can rub it between my fingers. It gives me a great sense of pleasure. Weird pleasure! Be it my jeans near my knees or pillow case edges...it feels so good. I rub it until my fingers get raw. Am 22 years old and i have been doing this since i was 8 or 9 years old.
    Am not alone! *Relieved*

    I DO IT, TOO.
    Apparently, there are quite a few of us out there - in fact, check out this thread - you'll see we're not alone.
