After making soap with Kendra<\/a>, I was inspired to try a gradient-colored soap. I picked a fragrance that I knew would cooperate as well as being requested by one of my customers. It’s a very fresh, clean laundry scent that reminds you of clothes that have been hung outside to dry. Previous versions of the Country Clothesline soap had been blue with white swirls:<\/p>\n
