Description

FELTED DRYER BALL TRIO
This is for a set of three handmade felted dryer balls, made from alpaca fiber on our farm from our herd of rescue alpacas. They are approximately 2 oz each for a total of about 6 oz.
They come in various natural colors: beige, dark brown-grey, brown, and fawn. Yours will be a random selection of the colors we have on hand.
When our alpacas are sheared to get them through the summer heat, we turn the soft fluff into yarn. Fiber from their stomachs and legs isn’t soft enough to be yarn, so we use it to make dryer balls. :)
We use these dryer balls in our own laundry! Toss all three in the dryer and set it to “auto”. They will bounce around and soften the laundry without synthetic chemicals. If you don’t over-dry, they also reduce static (that’s why we use the auto dry setting). Some people put a drop of essential oil on one, for fragrance—just be careful to not use too much nor to use something flammable.
If they loosen up over time you can toss them in a load of hot wash (like rags) and then back in the dryer. Our personal set has lasted over 6 years.
If you have a dog or cat, they may try to snatch these out of the dryer as toys.
