Soap Felting with the Alpacas

Come join us for a class in soap felting. Students will learn to wet-felt carded fleece from the alpacas at Montrose Farms onto a bar of eco-friendly, paraben-free soap.

Felted soap produces luxurious lather while the fiber coating gently exfoliates the skin. Because it’s like having a washcloth wrapped around your soap, it eliminates the need for a bath sponge, washcloth or loofa. The fleece coating makes it easier to hold onto, so this is a great soap to use in the shower, or for children and people with arthritis.

The fiber also makes the soap last longer, and because alpaca fiber is naturally anti-microbial, the soap will stay fresh. Once the soap is gone, use the remaining fleece to scrub sinks, showers, baths or counters.

Popular with gardeners and mechanics, felted soap can be used in the shower, at the kitchen sink – anywhere you want a little something extra. The attractive soaps are conversation-starters in guest baths and make wonderful gifts.

This class is appropriate for almost any age and skill level. All materials will be provided.

Please note: there are dogs, cats and other animals on the property.
