Know before you buy
For optimal results, we recommend using three Shecology wool dryer balls per load. This quantity provides enough surface area to separate your laundry, which improves airflow and reduces drying time.
Yes, you can add 8-10 drops of essential oil to the balls to scent your laundry. To avoid potential staining, allow the oil to absorb fully into the wool for a few minutes before tossing the balls into the dryer with your clothes.
The wool balls tumble between layers of wet fabric, physically separating your clothes as they dry. This increased airflow allows moisture to escape more efficiently, which can reduce your total drying time by up to 33%.
Yes, 100% Merino wool is gentle and safe for all standard fabrics, including delicates and towels. Because they are chemical-free, they are an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies to synthetic fabric softeners.
Shecology wool dryer balls are highly durable and typically last for 1,000 loads or more. Over time, you may notice them becoming slightly fuzzy, which is a normal part of the felting process and does not affect their performance.
