Reusable wool dryer balls designed to replace disposable dryer sheets and liquid fabric softeners. These tightly felted wool balls soften clothes naturally, help reduce static, and improve airflow in the dryer without synthetic fragrances or chemical coatings.
As laundry tumbles, the dryer balls help separate fabrics, allowing hot air to circulate more efficiently. This can shorten drying time and reduce wrinkles while keeping clothes soft. They are suitable for all laundry types, including whites, darks, towels, bedding, and activewear.
Dryer balls are unscented by default and can be lightly scented by adding a few drops of essential oil before use. Each ball is reusable for hundreds of loads and compostable at the end of its life.
How many dryer balls should I use?
- 3 dryer balls: Small to medium loads
- 6 dryer balls: Large, bulky, or heavily packed loads (towels, bedding, mixed family laundry)
Using more balls in larger loads improves airflow and performance.
