DRYER BALLS - Alpaca Felt - Set of 6 (Large Loads)

Our felted dryer balls are a simple way to lower your toxic load. By switching your synthetic-laden dryer sheets for all-natural Alpaca Felt Dryer Balls, you’ll save money as well! Felt dryer balls can last for 800+ loads and/or many years, and are biodegradable.

Our Dryer Balls are handcrafted from the fleece of our own sustainably raised alpacas.  They come in a variety of funky colors and asymmetrical shapes and sizes, depending on the fleece's staple length and fineness.  Alpaca fleece is free of lanolin so it is a hypoallergenic alternative to sheep's wool.  No dyes are ever added -- only natural colors!

So, how do they work? Dryer balls help separate garments for wrinkle reduction, increased softness, and slightly decreased drying time. Every order also includes a small sachet filled with coarse sea salt, which we find eliminates a good deal of static when added to dryer loads.

We recommend a set of 4 for small to medium loads and a set of 6 for large and extra large loads.  We do a lot of laundry on our farm (large loads!) and do fine with a set of 4.  Using a set of 6 is best for slightly decreasing dry time. When they're noticeably smaller in size and no longer seem to be reducing wrinkles it's time to give them to your pet as a chew toy or place them in your garden for mulch.

For a fresh scent, try adding a few drops of a pleasing essential oil.
