Wild Heather Atelier is thrilled to introduce our fun and luxurious felted soap, a unique twist using our traditional bar soap. The wool wrapping helps the soap to last longer and doubles as a washcloth. As the soap is used, the wool shrinks, tightening around the soap and extending its lifespan. Once the soap is used up, the wool wrapping can be composted or repurposed.
Felted Spring Soap (One Bar)
Felted soap is soap that has been encased in wool fibers, creating a built-in washcloth. Before using Wild Heather Atelier's felted soap for the first time, run it under water to wet the wool fibers. This helps to activate the soap and create a lather. Once the felted soap is wet, start rubbing it between your hands or directly on your body. The wool fibers will create a lather as you use it, similar to using a washcloth.
Allow the felted soap to air dry between uses. The wool fibers will shrink slightly as they dry, tightening around the soap and helping it to last longer. Avoid leaving it in standing water, as this can cause the wool fibers to break down more quickly.
After each use, we recommend placing your wet soap on a grated or self-drying soap dish. We don't use commercial-grade stabilizers, we prioritize the use of natural ingredients in our soap, which means allowing it to air dry between uses helps maintain its quality and integrity. This simple step ensures your soap stays fresher for longer, providing you with a luxurious bathing experience every time you use it.
