Locally made. What are dryer balls? Our dryer balls are a safe, natural alternative to chemical-laden dryer sheets. Handmade from felted wool, they are all natural and reusable. Dryer balls are good for 1,000 loads or 3 years with normal use. We recommend at least 3 dryer balls for a normal load of laundry. What do dryer balls do? Using our dryer balls with your laundry can reduce your drying time, soften and fluff up clothing. Just add the wool dryer balls to your laundry for the drying cycle, and you will see clothes dry faster and come out softer. Add a few drops of lavender or other favorite oil to the dryer ball for an uplifting natural scent to your laundry! Our wool dryer balls are handmade from 100% domestic wool fiber at Echoview Fiber Mill, an environmentally friendly fiber processing mill in Weaverville, NC.
