FeltedSoap1

One of my very special and great 50th birthday gifts was felted soap bar. I've seen ones few times but never tested it. Now I have used the one I received as a gift and had great experiences with it. It was a surprise that the felt cover shrunk with the soap. My expectation was it gets loose little by little when the soap shrunk. But only at the end the felt was loose! Wow!

Because it was such a great experience I decided to have a new one. I  made my 1st ever felted soap bar. This soap bar is first wet felted. Then I continued the process with needle felting. You can't push the needle straight down because the soap bar is inside. But you can use the needle "sideways". Just testing how it works best. Felted soap bar is an excellent for full body wash and scrub. I used Marseille soap and Finnsheep wool. Usually they use merino wool for the felted soap bars. I do have a lot of Finnsheep wool so I use it. Its more rough and harsh but perfect also for this body scrub soap!
