I have some ugly loaf ends and other lumpy soaps that I've been saving to try felting with. I knit and spin so there's plenty of roving around, but I've never done needle felting before so was looking at the options.
Most of the felting needles I can find are made of iron (where it's specified at all) so I was curious as to people's opinions on whether this increases the risk of DOS? I guess it would be harder to detect in a felted soap but I presume the smell would still come through at some point and I generally wouldn't want to be washing with rancid soap
Is there any special kind of needles recommended or are the iron ones good enough?
