Yep that soap recipe is simple- that is how I generally make I the same way but with different oils. I don't like that it doesn't tell you how much extra oil is in the bar- so you don't know how harsh or gentle it will be. I don't usually use lard since lard make a very hard bar that doesn't lather great, plus I don't use much lard around the house. If you have other oils/fats you can use a soap calculator that will tell you how much lye and water you need for the amount of oils/fats.
Sheep don't shrink in the rain because wool needs heat and friction (or basic compound like soap) to felt and shrink....
I wonder how many fleeces it would take to make a mattress? I have a lot less sheep than you- I only have four at the moment- and the ewe lamb's fleece may be worth more to sell for spinning....
