Fluffier Laundry, Zero Chemical Softeners
Stop paying for dryer sheets that leave residue and static behind. Toss in six natural wool balls and get softer, lighter clothes that come out of the dryer ready to wear.
Six wool balls, zero residue, every load

Zero residue on fabric
Pure wool felt leaves no chemical film on your clothes. Sheets and liquid softener build up a coating load after load. The balls only move through the drum, so fabric stays clean to the touch and nothing sticky collects in the lint trap.

Less static cling
Wool fibers push between garments as the drum turns, so shirts and sheets separate instead of sticking together. The change is easiest to see on synthetics and mixed loads. Plain cotton shows a smaller difference, and drying time drops only modestly.

Reusable, six-pack
Each ball is manually felted, so the set is dense and holds its shape through repeated tumbling. Keep the same six in rotation for load after load, and replace them only when the felt visibly thins or flattens.
Toss them in and let the dryer work
- 1Load the clothes
Sort the wash as you normally would and put the dry load into the drum.
- 2Add three to six balls
Use three balls for a small load and up to six for bulky items like duvet covers and towels.
- 3Skip the dryer sheet
Leave sheets and liquid softener out of the drum so the balls can work on their own.
- 4Run your usual cycle
Dry on your normal setting. The balls tumble with the clothes from start to finish.
- 5Reuse and check the felt
Store the balls somewhere dry between loads. Replace them when the felt visibly thins or flattens.

Questions and answers
Wool is soft and light, so the balls tumble with far less rattle than hard plastic dryer balls. They are loose balls with no fixed size requirement, so they fit any tumble dryer that takes a load of clothes.
They can trim drying time a little, because they separate clothes so warm air reaches more fabric. Expect a modest change, not a dramatic one. The bigger gain is softer, less static-clung clothes without buying sheets.
New felt sheds a few loose fibers in the first loads, and those can show on dark fabric. Shake out the balls after a few runs and keep them away from dyed items in the wash, and the shedding settles down.
Use three balls for a standard load and up to six for bulky items like duvet covers and towels. Three balls are enough for about four garments.
A box of dryer sheets is a recurring expense, and each sheet is used once. One set of six wool balls is a single purchase that keeps working for every load you run, so the cost per load keeps falling.
