Homemade wool dryer balls help dry laundry much faster, replace dryer sheets to soften and scent and help fluff clothes.
Using them saves money since the dryer is one of the biggest users of electricity and they shorten the time. Plus they are fun to make and even give as gifts. See how easy they are to make!

Steps:
I found a skein of wool yarn by keeping my eyes open at yard sales. One skein makes about 5 balls.
I've seen these dryer balls is specialty stores for quite a bit of money and they didn't include the essential oil idea!
Everyone is talking about using tennis balls or purchased rubber dryer balls to use in the dryer, but has anyone purchased wool dryer balls or made wool dryer balls? If so how do these compare to tennis balls or rubber dryer balls?
I am also concerned about the chemicals in both the tennis balls and rubber balls so I made wool dryer balls to use in my dryer.I think the wool ones are better overall. They cut drying time and don't have chemicals in them like tennis balls do.
They are supposed to be good. I Heard the white ones leave lint on dark clothes, so the black is better
I have used tennis balls and some type of hard ball and I did not notice any chemical smell but I do not ever use hot heat in my dryer, in fact I dry a lot of clothes outside and finish on no heat in my dryer. I would be afraid to use hot heat with tennis balls.
My daughter uses homemade wool dryer balls and loves them but she only uses dark wool so I think you will be happy with your wool balls and no chemical problem.
