Have you ever seen these?

Wool Dryer Balls

I guess these are an old fashioned answer to dryer sheets to help with drying time and static electricity. They have been around forever. I have seen those plastic rubbery dryer balls while watching as seen on TV programming. This is one item I have never been tempted to purchase though.

Natural wool dryer balls instantly attracted me. Besides the fact they are totally gorgeous and cool looking. I new I could make these myself. I am always doing that. If you search Etsy.com you will see people selling these at a whopping $15.00 a pair.

I grabbed my bin from the top of my closet and low and behold I had a beautiful array of neutral and natural color wool scrap balls. Not quite enough to make a hat or anything really useful. The only reason I kept these scraps was because of the beautiful colors and they were 100% wool. Too nice to just donate. I am sure glad I kept them. Another bonus, these were a thrift store find some time ago. Almost free!

I quick internet search found numerous tutorials. So wrap, warp, wash, dry, wash, dry. Some laughing about the tangled mess of knee highs full of these balls that appeared from the washer. Low and behold I had my very own natural wool dryer balls. Do they really work? Who knows, but they sure are cool looking.

Olivia, I made some little ones just for you. You can play with them or your mom can use them when drying your diapers. One or the other. Not both! It is up to you.
