Making!! This mysterious craft has always interested me.
How did someone make those creamy hunks of lather that
bears no resemblance to those harsh bars found in stores
other then possibly the shape?

Cowichan Valley
is a region around the Cowichan River and Cowichan Lake on Vancouver
Island, in British Columbia, Canada. There is some debate as to
the origin of the name Cowichan, which many believe to be an anglicized
form of the First Nations tribal name Quw'utsun. This word in
turn may be derived from Hul'qumi'num, meaning "warming your
back against the sun." Others have claimed that the name
means "warm land". Cowichan Valley has a population
of approximately 80,000.
Duncan
has a population of less than 5000, however, it serves as the
Cowichan
Valley commerce centre.
Communities include Duncan,
Lake Cowichan, Cobble Hill, Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay, Ladysmith,
Crofton, Chemainus,
Honeymoon
Bay and Maple Bay.
The valley is the home of a growing number of Cowichan
vineyards and wineries. They include Cherry Point Vineyards,
Blue Grouse, Glenterra,Vigneti Zanatta, Venturi-Schulze Vineyards,
and Averil Creek. Locals claim that the warm, dry summers and
mild, moist winters are reminiscent of a cool Mediterranean climate,
providing ideal growing conditions for many grape varieties.
Golf is also popular on Vancouver Island. Visit the golf
courses of the Cowichan Valley.
The Trans Canada Trail goes through the Valley, and there are
numerous options for hiking enthusiasts.
The railroad
serves the Cowichan Valley as does the Trans-Canada Highway. The
valley is central to both Victoria
to the south and Nanaimo
to the north.
Duncan
BC has a large First Nations community and is the traditional
home of the Cowichan
Tribes, who are the largest band among the Coast Salish people.
The Coast Salish women of the Cowichan Tribes are makers of the
world famous Cowichan Sweaters.
