Ever wonder what to do with those little end bits of your handmade soap? Collect them in your Soap Saver Sack!!

Now you can knit your own. If you make it out of a hemp cotton blend, it will be just the right softness too. Or you could make it out of 100% hemp which is a bit stiffer and get the exfoliating benefits when using it. Like going to the Spa in your own shower!

I used Hempton (hemp / cotton blend ) and was able to get 3 little sacks out of 1 ball.

The sack is knit using dpns and then the bottom seam is sewn flat. Gauge is not really important but I am a tight knitter so although I used a 4.5 needle most people would probably be more comfortable using a 4.0.

These little sacks could be used as sachets too (without the eyelets!).
