You may or may not be aware, but one of the things I make for Spritely Goods are handfelted soaps. If you're not familiar, with the concept of handfelted soaps, they are soaps that have had wool applied and felted onto them. The soap is used with the wool in place, by simply getting it wet and lathering it up. The wool acts as a washcloth and as a gentle exfoliant. The wool makes the bar last longer, and ensures that the entire bar is consumed - no more tossing those random soap slivers! For those who would prefer to not use the soap, they can be used as a scented "sachet" and can be placed in your dresser or bureau to lightly scent your clothing!
The magazine features a slew of patterns and a nice article on finishing techniques. As I'm a self-taught "hooker" I was especially interested in what the finishing technique article had to offer.
Of course, I was even more interested to find out just what they had written about my soaps, and I have to complement them on the photograph - it makes my soaps look so "happy" if soaps could be happy that is LOL - I've scanned it in so you can see for yourself :D
