Irene had a near disaster when she dropped the soap while showering. (She's ok, and so is the shower.) Jane Brody, in the New York Times, suggested putting your soap in a sock. The sock was either too big or too small, so I am making them "just right."

I have to say, these are wonderful to use. They exfoliate while cleansing and make your skin feel happy. They also keep soap ends manageable. Wool has natural antibacterial properties. I hope to be able to sell them on this site sometime soon, but if you can't wait, come to my farm stand and enjoy the fall colors and other sights along the St. Croix River Road Ramble!
