Dear soap friends,
I am a long lost soaper fron te netherlands. I have beenmaking soap for a while about ten years ago, and I kinda stopped. In the mean time I discover anotherpassion which is spinning (wool, silk, cotton, flax etc).
recently a friend wanted to make her own soap to wash her wool. My friend is a volunteer in the national historic open air museum as a spinner. So we wanted to make a soft soap using ingredients that would have been used in the netherlands about 100 years ago. This way she can wash her wool in a reasonably authentic soap (as far as reaonably feasible ofcourse). Needles to say, this rekindled my soap making enthousiasm. I already found lots of information on this forum as a guest and I am now going to dive back into the rabbit hole with you as a member, and I doubt it will remain limited to this project alone.
