Know before you buy
For optimal performance, we recommend using three to six balls per load. Using more balls helps separate your laundry more effectively, which improves airflow and reduces drying time.
No, these high-quality, hand-felted wool balls are designed to be dense and durable. They do not shed fibers onto your clothes, making them safe for all fabric types and colors.
Yes, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the balls before tossing them in the dryer. Allow the oil to absorb for a few minutes to avoid direct contact with wet clothing.
Unlike single-use dryer sheets that contain synthetic chemicals and fragrances, these wool balls are 100% natural and reusable. They soften fabrics mechanically through movement rather than coating them in chemical softeners.
These balls are designed to last for over 1,000 loads. You will know it is time to replace them when they begin to look significantly worn, unravel, or lose their dense, spherical shape.
While the wool is natural and chemical-free, it is still 100% New Zealand wool. If you have a severe wool allergy, we recommend exercising caution or avoiding use, as the fibers may come into contact with your garments.
