Hand Felted Soap

What beautiful colours this basket displays hand felted soap. For the soap that all you have to do is add water and wash as normal soap. The more you use it the more it felts. It will end up a small ball of felt so as a lot of people ask can it be recovered. NO. The soap lasts longer, and is great as a skin exfoliater.
It also is not slippery and therefor less likely to slip through your hand, so great for the arthritic hands or anybodys, small to large.
You could just have a few in a basket for display and spray on perfume to make the room smell lovely.
I had a lovely time making them, but I need lots of towels, detergent and cups of tea in between stages.
My hand look like prunes and have to stop when I need for them to recover.
Hand felted soap, using natural bath soap as a base but you could use exotic or those beautiful perfume soaps, detergent to help cover the many colours of pre hand dyed merino fleece, lot of rubbing but well worth the result.Posted by Picasa

Beret and Cylinder Scarf with knotted ends.

22 micron merino hand spun, hand dyed, hand knitted this lovely set of matching Beret and unusual Cylinder Scarf with Knotted Ends. I knitted it in stocking stitch which makes the wool make a cylinder effect. I just love the colours, so soft and could be worn with many outfits with pale blue jeans, or soft caramel coat. Enlarge the photo and see it as should be seen.
