Soap Felting - How to Felt a Bar of Soap

By David Fisher, About.com Guide

Once the wool has completely formed around the bar of soap and isn't shrinking any more, you're done. Blot the bar of soap on a washcloth and set it up to dry.

Note: Don't be disappointed by the lathering of the felted bar the first time you use it in the shower. After the felting process is done and you've let the bar dry, it takes a little while for the lather to come back through the felt. But once it does, it's wonderful.
