A good website for you to check out may be http://www.ewg.org/cleaners. This is a great organization that rates the ingredients of cleaning products. I found it surprising, scary, and very informative. I have definitely changed some of my products that I had thought were green and safe. Hope you find it useful.

HI!
As an avid knitter I would say those balls are just felted Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool wound in a ball. That yarn is available at any Michaels or Hobby Lobby, without a coupon they are about $9 / 465yd skein (that is a LOT of yarn). I plan on making my own! Thanks for the tips!!

They basically help move the clothes around and create more space for the air to move between the clothes, which helps save energy and cut drying time. The friction of the wool dryer balls helps with softness and while they don’t completely eliminate static like some fabric softeners I haven’t really had any static trouble since we started using them. I put 5 in with a large load and 4 with a small load. Once I had a sock stuck to a towel, but that’s been the only time I’ve noticed static. I’d look for organic wool dryer balls. They should come in a pack of 4-6. I use them to keep chemicals and harsh fragrances out of my clothes so I prefer plain wool dryer balls rather than the ones that come with fragrances, etc. Look for someone on Etsy who seems to know how they work and shares that info. You might even trying searching EcoEtsy. Hope that helps.

I’ve never heard of wool dryer balls! Can you tell me more about them? I just looked them up on Etsy but there is a huge variety and I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!!
