After meeting some wonderful women from deepest darkest Mallorca who use virgin sheep wool to make felt and in turn make bags, slippers, fairytale figures and all sort of wonderful things we had the idea to make a truly unique soap.

Traditionally felt is made washing and rubbing together virgin sheep wool in very soapy water.

Mallorquin Sheep famous for their
lovely wool |
So why not felt a GAIA soap into a piece of virgin sheep wool.
The effect on the skin would be gently exfoliating and it would also
make a wonderful lather.
The resulting pieces of soap are unique! The wool has been left in its original colours. Cream, brown and black just as our Mallorquin sheep!
