Hey There!

[Sheepysoaper]

Hey everyone,

I'm a relatively new soaper from NY. I've been soaping for about 3 years now, marketing for almost a year. After hundreds of bars, I feel like I've been doing this forever! I know it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Fun fact: I strictly work with sheep's milk from my flock, hence the name

Hope to meet more of the rare sheep's milk soapers here!

Hello and welcome! I'm pretty new myself, and a goat milk soaper from my homestead herd. My niece has dairy sheep and wants to learn to make soap with their milk. I will get some milk from her when they freshen to go with the sheep tallow I have from my woolies.

Had to re read sheep tallow from my woolies. I thought they don't keep sheep tallow - Woolies here is a supermarket - Woolworths, but everyone says woolies.

Sorry about the confusion! Goodness, I just Googled "woolies" and not a single result had anything to do with sheep! I got lots of results for the Australian grocery store chain and one for a rock band from Michigan, USA. I meant to differentiate between my fine wool-producing sheep (Tarhghee/Merino cross), hair sheep (for wool) and the dairy sheep (for milk) that @Sheepysoaper raises.

Hi and welcome @Sheepysoaper

@Relle - I miss Woolworths, there was one in my town when I was growing up.

@Sheepysoaper welcome! looks like you found a fellow sheep soap maker

@dmcgee5034 , I think there used to be a Woolworth's in everyone's hometown in the U.S.A. Even though they closed in Seattle more than 25 years ago, their building with their iconic Woolworth's lettering is still there. I have seen these Woolworth buildings in other cities, too- so, we probably won't forget them any time soon.

Welcome @Sheepysoaper - from the land of sheep (you might need to zoom in to see them here -I was focussing more on the mountain).
