Oh ok I know it doesn’t rhyme, but humor me ;-)

So I have been experimenting with soap making.  Namely Lanolinized Wool-Wash bars.  It only makes sense since I’ve been making wool yarn for a long while.  Of course yesterday I had a bit of a crisis while making wool wash bonbons LOL.  My soap pot over ran while I was melting in the Lanolin – as I had gone to the other room.  I came back in to find my kitchen counter covered in hardened soap.  WHOOPS!  My counters are clean and soft now and they have a lovely Eucalyptus scent.

Along with a whole lot of Sunshine Colored Southdown Wool Roving I’ve been busy with making an Eucalyptus scented wool wash with pharmaceutical grade lanolin and Eucalyptus oil.  Why Pharmaceutical grade?  Well it’s the purist forms I have available, smells neat, clean and has no debris or detritus in it.  I’ll leave the veggie matter for my raw fleeces, not for the things I clean finished yarn with.

So on my counter finishing setting up and drying out fully are Little Cups about the size of a small Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups™ candy and while I normally re-stock on Monday’s, I needed to focus on meeting that I had this afternoon.  (Silly little day job stuff ;-)   I enjoy working in IT, and have been scouting a new opportunity or two out… today’s meeting was one that I would love to be a part of and we’ll just have to see how that sorts itself out.)

With that out of the way I can now do some more store re-stock tomorrow, and hope to list some of these soaps tomorrow.  I happen to have some small packs that I will be offering as a give-a-way of one roll of wool wash soaps, consisting of 4 Shea Butter / Goats Milk / lanolinized wool wash soaps. (while these are good for washing wool dedicates and children’s wool diaper covers in, the soaps are geared to be extra moisturizing for sensitive skin as well.)

What do you have to do to win it?  Leave a comment for an entry, and then retweet via that little twitter retweet button there at your left.
