What is Felted Soap? 

Our “Wooly Washers” are our version of felted soap. They are one-of-a-kind pieces of functional art. Each soap is wet-felted by hand in Pendleton wool roving. The process involves slowly agitating the wool back and forth in hot and cold water until the fibers become entwined and form a cohesive textile covering around the soap. Designs are then meticulously needle-felted onto the surface.

Why use felted soap?

• Felted soap is reusable
• It extends the life of your soap
• It is biodegradable and antimicrobial
• It is a soap & a washcloth in one-no more soap slipping from your fingers
• Wool is a gentler skin exfoliant than a washcloth or pouf
• One-of-a-kind, beautiful, & functional
• High-quality, long-lasting, & unique gifts

How do you use felted soap?

Wet soap and start scrubbing. Soap suds will come through the wool. When the soap is gone, make a slit in the felt and slide in a new bar. Wool fibers will felt back together with use, or you may treat the felt as a washcloth. To maintain the softness of the wool, consider adding a drop of lanolin to the felt with each new bar.
