A while ago I made a soap cozy for in my shower. I kept dropping the soap and found myself wishing for some soap on a rope. I did think about felting wool on to the soap bar and stringing a wrist loop, but I couldn't get the thought of wasting all that soap till the fibre felted. I don't really need it felted. That can happen during use. I just wanted something that I wasn't going to drop.
I made a quick and dirty cozy very early one morning. That first one was really just to see I would like it and if it would solve my soap on the floor problem. It did and I loved it.
As good as it was, the first one did not last forever and I knew I could make a cozy way better than that first try.
I wanted it to fit snugly around the soap. There were frequent try ons. Twenty minutes and things were looking great.
A quick three needle bind off, seating everything nicely inside it's little sweater and
and i cord knit just long enough to fit nicely around my wrist when it was wet and
in no time at all I had three nice little wool covered soap bars ready for use.
The red, green and golden yellow yarns are leftovers from a cowl and the yellow with that touch of grey blue is the yellow and a small bit of some leftover Kauni from a scarf. All the yarns will felt nicely and are exactly the right kind of silly for my morning ablutions.
Wool to bed, wool when I rise, wool all the time.
A man is what he thinks about all day long.
I am wool. Isn't that nice?
