What is Hand Felted Soap?

Felt Soap is literally soap that is enclosed in felted wool. Basically, the wool is placed on a bar of soap and as you work it with water, the fibers felt together.

As you use the soap, the bar shrinks and the felt shrinks with it.

Supplies needed:

Wool Roving

Bar Soap

Nylon Hose

Water

How Do You Make Felted Soap?

Soap felting can get a little messy since you will be using water. So, before you begin, think about where you will be doing this. You can work the soap over a sink or a large bowl or cover your table with a plastic tablecloth.

Basically, all you have to do is thin out the wool roving and wrap around your bar of soap.

You can use one color of wool or many. You can make stripes or solids … whatever you like.

Felting The Soap

Now, pop the soap inside one of the nylon knee highs and tie it off.

Now, add some water and work the soap with your hands until the wool has felted firmly around the soap.

You will want to remove the soap from the hose every few minutes to make sure it doesn't felt into the hose.

These felted soaps are a great DIY Gift idea!!
