The Soap Tribune, Issue #151--it's time to wash your sweaters and play with wool
November 10, 2022

Wool washing and Free Sweater Pattern

I am getting all of my sweaters ready for Winter by washing them and drying them outside in the cool late Fall air. Give useful gifts this year.

Are you a knitter or know a knitter? Do you have wool looking for a pattern? I missed the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival this year due to family obligation, but not in spirit.

I am giving away one of my sweater patterns. Get a free pdf of Andy's Jersey Sweater with every purchase of 4 quarts of Instant Liquid Soap.

Click the links below for hand washing instructions and to get your free pattern.

Buy in bulk

Last Saturday, while I was doing running the Ithaca Farmers Market booth, so many people stopped in to see me (Andy was elsewhere). It's always great to visit in a great setting. It was a lovely day on the waterfront.

So many of my visitors said the same thing...

It takes me forever to go through the soap! The bars last forever and the liquid soap also lasts a very long time.

This year, as we pay closer attention to the economy and where it's headed, more product for your spending dollars is key. You can buy in bulk and give useful gifts that go a long way, increasing the value of that gift.

House cleaning

The nights are cooler, and the days are getting shorter. We are spending more time indoors. That means more time spent cooking and cleaning.

One bag of Instant Liquid Soap, diluted to 2 gallons is an excellent soap to clean the house.
