I was thinking of making a 40% coconut 60% lard or crisco with borax and fragrance for my laundry soap. Does this sound o.k.?

Yes...that would make a good laundry soap....it will probably clean better if you use lard instead of crisco....I find my lard soap cleans stains better, but crisco does better in cold water. :) Go figure....it's all tradeoffs.

I make mine with 0% superfat, and add lemon fragrance oil....makes for very fresh smelling clothes when you're done.
 
I ground up lavender buds in mine, which probably does nothing but makes me feel earthy.

Then, instead of fabric softener or dryer sheets, ick, I put a bunch of lavender buds in sock and tie a knot in it. My clothes smell wonderful and have less wrinkles.
