We've been carrying Four Winds Farm's felted soap at Harvest Gold for over two years now! What is felted soap? It's soap in its own washcloth! Fiber artist Jan Winsor of Four Winds Farm in Gorham, ME has partnered with soap makers to sell this fun product.

Jan became interested in the fiber arts over 20 years ago and has progressed to becoming a full time fiber artist with a farm. She has a small flock of sheep from which she gets the wool to create artworks as well as felted soap.

She uses either hand crafted soap from Medicine Wheel Herbals, or goat's milk soap from Knotty Goat Soapery or Spiritwind Farm and then "felts" them with wool from her own sheep. The soap is wrapped in a thin layer of felt, so it lathers up without needing a washcloth. When the soap is gone, the felt can be used as a scrubbie.

In addition to smelling fabulous, these soaps are made from all natural ingredients and are eco-friendly! Ditch bottled soaps filled with chemicals and try out this product. Not only are you helping the planet, but you're supporting multiple small businesses. Give it a try today and pick up a bar at the Harvest Gold Gallery.
