Wool Dryer balls


First grab some wool yarn from your craft store. I was able to make 4 dryer balls with just one skein.

To start the ball wrap around three of your fingers 20 times
Then wrap another 20 times around the middle.
This should allow you to pinches the sides together to make a circle.

Keep wrapping yarn around until it's the size of your palm.


Once all your balls are made stuff them down a leg of old nylon stockings. You need to separate the balls I just tied knots in the the stocking between each ball. You can use an acrylic yarn but don't use wool.

Now to felt your balls you need to run them through your washer and dryer at the hottest setting. Once done just remove from the stockings and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to each ball and leave in your dryer for the next time you do laundry.
Your new dryer balls will save you money by reducing dryer time, but still leave your clothes static
free soft and smelling great!
