I often get a lot of the same questions over and over when I am sitting in the booth at fairs. Just in case any of you are having the same questions I thought I would answer a few of them here:
What is a felted soap?
Easy to grip, this 100% wool covered soap gently exfoliates, leaving skin feeling clean and soft.
Also, works great for cleaning hard-working hands.
Wool will shrink along with soap. When soap is gone you will be left with a little scrubby which can be re-filled with soap slivers, guest soaps or used with your favorite liquid soap.
How many sheep do you have?
34. 25 Wensleydales, 7 Karakuls and 3 Corriedales.
Do they all have names?
Yes! They are all individuals and have unique faces and personalities. When I first met them I had no idea how I would ever tell them apart but now there is no way I could ever confuse one with another.
Do you shear them yourself?
No luckily I have a wonderful shearer I trust and who I think is worth his weight in gold.
Do you do all your own dyeing?
Yes! Dyeing is one of my favorite parts of the creative process.
Do the dryer balls actually work?
Yes! I have had nothing but enthusiastic reviews from my dryer balls. They reduce static, cut down on drying time and soften clothes all without the use of harsh chemicals found in dryer sheets and fabric softeners.
How did you get into this?
I feel like I have always been headed toward this lifestyle. As a little girl I always connected more with animals than with people. I have been drawn to the country and a simpler way of life for as long as I can remember. The sheep, bless their souls, helped me see how suited I really am for rural life and at the same time share their wool to give me a healthy creative outlet.
