I don't use a specific ratio, I just cut off some fibers and throw them in my lye water after all the lye is dissolved ... once I have my oils ready they've usually broken down and mix right in. I usually make a 4 pound batch and my silk fibers are about the size of a cotton ball or a tad bit...

I did a search for "rosin" and several threads came up. I was reading here, on other forums and on the internet ...

I want to use it in Liquid Soap

Thank you. My DIL had the baby 2 weeks ago so I may do something for her for their anniversary next month. I will keep this in mind.

I'm not sure this is the right place for this thread ... For Christmas our family does a gift exchange and everything has to be either re-gifted item, something you got for free or a hand made item. You can not spend more than $5 and that can only be to enhance your gift. i.e. a frame for a...
