Soap Felting - Wrap the Wool Around the Soap

Wrap Felt Around the Soap

Wrap the Wool Around the Soap

David Fisher
Lay out the wool so that it is about as thick as a normal washcloth. Wrap the wool around the soap, both lengthwise and widthwise so that the bar is completely covered.

Yes, it's going to feel baggy and loose and you'll wonder how this is EVER going to work! You can layer colors together, or just add a stripe of a contrasting color. (As you'll see I did with the lighter colored bar.) Experiment!

Note: If you're going to use a nylon stocking - put it into the stocking at this point.
