Felted castile soap

[coffeetime]

Hi all, I looked through the old threads on felted soap but didn't find an answer. Has anyone felted 1-year old Castile bars? A friend wants to try it and I didn't know if it would make the lather better or worse?? Has anyone tried it?

I did this with my last years castiles to give away this year. I thought it would be really nice for those who call it slimy. Unfortunately I gave all the felted ones away so I cant really say how nice it was. But I stand by thinking it's a good idea.

Oh darn. I'm going to try it on two bars anyway. I'll get my friend to felt one for each of us to try out and report back.

Ok I couldn't wait so i crocheted an envelope around my 11-month old castile with buffalo wool. I then partially felted it in my sons bath. The lather was still not bubbly, but it was copious foam and not slimey at all.
