New Soap Descriptions and New Face Cloth Design


Good Afternoon,
I have finished the first Face Cloth with the new Hemp Yarn.  I threw it in the washer with a load of laundry, and then placed it flat and pinned it out.  I am so pleased with how it came out.  I am so
pleased with how it came out. I have a few more face clothes to design for the collection and they will be done fairly soon as they really don’t take much time to make.

The other piece of information that I would like to share is the Organic Soap Descriptions:
OATMEAL SPICE
 Gentle oatmeal, ground and whole, provides skin-healing exfoliation. Organic ground cloves give this soap a rich, spicy scent. Feel the difference in your skin with this gentle complexion bar good for the whole body.
                                                               LAVENDER
Treat yourself. This bar’s fragrance is pure lavender essential oil – a natural relaxant. We’ve added organic comfrey root to our proven base recipe for a bar that will soothe and hydrate your skin.
                                                            LEMONGRASS TEA
This bar’s fragrance is a complex blend of six essential oils, including citrus and herbs, and organic rosemary leaf. A very popular bar among both men and women.
THYME GARDEN
A gardener's and herb lover’s bar! Full of scents of thyme, rosemary, sage, and others. This bar makes any gardener or cook happy. Natural chlorophyll and organic cloves create a deep green color.
PINK GRAPEFRUIT
This soap is a true pleasure. Pink grapefruit essential oil is at once brilliant, deep, and refreshing, perfect for a shower or bath at any time of day or any season. Our favorite.
                                                                PATCHOULI
Patchouli lovers, here is your bar. We’ve scented this bar with deep, earthy patchouli essential oil while keeping the scent level mild. Organic orange peel provides a bold color and a hint of citrus fragrance. If you haven’t tried our patchouli bar, then it’s time to take the plunge.
PEPPERMINT LEAF
A blend of pure mint essential oils combines with organic peppermint leaf to create this invigorating soap. We added menthol for an extra zing of peppermint. Great for the morning shower.
BLOOD ORANGE BERGAMOT
A unique twist on citrus! Blood orange essential oil blends with the complexity of bergamot for a smooth, light, and citrusy bar.
MONTANA PRAIRIE
This soap is best described as open and fresh. A blend of sage, lemongrass, and spearmint essential oils resembles the open spaces here in Montana, and calendula petals provide homegrown beauty. This soap is popular with both men and women.
CITRUS LAVENDER
Orange essential oil, with hints of tangerine and lemon, provides a perfect citrusy blend. Lavender essential oil rounds it out. This soap will surprise you with its fragrance that is both bright and mellow.
                                                         FOREST TONIC
The elusive and slightly sweet scent of juniper berries enhances this woodsy bar, fresh as the outdoors. Ground juniper berries provide exfoliants.
SENSITIVE SKIN / UNSCENTED
Pure soap, plain and simple. This bar has no fragrance and no color. A perfect soap for people who prefer a gentle soap with a good lather in a fragrance-free alternative. Especially helpful for sensitive skin.
Gardener's Hand Soap
Gardener's Hand Soap is full of exfoliants - ground apricot kernels and coffee - to help clean the dirtiest hands. We've given this bar a bright, fresh lemon scent. We keep a bar at every sink all summer as well as in the gardening shed!
Shea Honey Oatmeal
This is a rich, moisturizing bar. We’ve loaded it with a perfect balance of shea butter, honey, and finely ground oatmeal to fit all skin types. As an unscented bar, it will sell very well with your sensitive skin customers.
I hope you enjoy reading about the new Soap and Face Clothes at http://youandmeknit.com.  As of yet, they have not been added to the website, but will be soon.  If there is interest in ordering, please contact me at:  dee@youandmeknit.com


Hope the rest of your day is wonderful, and whatever you need it to be and Happy Knitting.

Organic Soap and a Hemp Face Cloth

Good Afternoon,

I am preparing for a new adventure, Gift Baskets.  I have found a  wonderful source for organic herbal soaps and I received my sample order last Friday afternoon.  As I opened the box, I thought I had just stepped into one of those organic, herbal, essential oil, heavenly scented shops that makes you want to drop your troubles at the door before entering. You can find these wonderful soaps soon at http://youandmeknit.com, Salon DKS in Bradford MA, and at Hudson Valley Body Works in Kingston, NY, as well as Etsy, Craftsy, and Ravelry and Pinterest.

Each bar of soap that was opened was better than the last.  Now, I thought, what am I going to do to market these wonderful pieces of heaven. I had written in my 7/13 blog about my road trip to Mass to visit my brother.  I had knit a washcloth on my way in the car.  Better than cotton, I have ordered a cone of hemp knitting yarn, arriving any time now, to pair with these lovely soaps.  The hemp yarn will be knit into lovey face clothes soon as well and available at the above locations.  As soon as these are ready to go, I will post the links of the locations, but wanted to give everyone the heads up.


This past Friday evening, I began designing a face cloth to accompany the soap.  I can market the face cloth alone, paired with a soap, or a gift basket with several soaps and face clothes.  I have been searching for venues so when everything is packaged neat, tidy and beautiful, then it is a matter of hitting the pavement.

The possibilities are endless.  Collecting the names of spas, upscale hotels, salons, etc, will take some time, and then to knit for all will be another challenge to over come.  This is so exciting finally finding something so wonderful to share.  Now this can be added to the teaching, coaching, mentoring, contract knitting, etc., etc.

Time for me to get this out, but a bit of family news, my son and his girlfriend announced their engagement this afternoon.  The wedding is planned for June of 2014!  Another happy occasion to look forward to.

Have a great rest of the day and Happy Knitting
