I prefer to hang dry clothes. I do have a dryer though. I was kind of talked into it. But I do use it occasionally. Especially if thunderstorms have rinsed the clothes on the line three times.
But I do not like the dryer sheets or liquid fabric softeners. It is both the how they make the clothes feel and the smells. I do not like the smells.
I have been looking at the wool dryer balls and decided to make them. The easiest way was to take a ball of wool yarn, put it in a nylon, wash it with a load of wash, and then dry it. I have plenty of wool yarn but no nylons. I had some napkins I could tie around the ball very tightly so I tried that.
I will say it worked quite well. I made two, thinking I can make more as I go through my yarn basket, deciding what I wished to use or not. One worked perfectly. The other has a bit of a felted cap. They actually still look like balls of yarn but behave like balls.
I have enough wool fleeces I was thinking I might try the same thing with a lot of fiber packed into my holey napkin. That would be even easier then making the yarn first. Maybe the next load of laundry.
This was incredibly easy. So easy I may make some for my Etsy shop or gifts. Easy stocking stuffers are always a plus!
