Hi Val,

I have not heard of that happening before. Although it is not required, I kept my felt balls in the pantyhose when I put then in the dryer. It took a little while to get the pantyhose off because they felted a little to the wool balls. The upside is there was NO fuzz at all. I would give that a try on your next batch and you should be fine. Thanks for following us! Tracy

Hey Janet!

I LOVE my wool dryer balls! Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to one or several of the balls for an extra clean scent. Thanks for leaving your comment, Tracy

Hi Lynn,

You remove the hose after the wool dryer balls come out of the dryer. I had a couple of the balls have the hose felt to the felted wooled. Works just fine! You are going to love these! Thanks for commenting, Tracy

Hi Jaine,

The wool balls finish felting while in the dryer after boiling them. Mine felted so well I had a hard time peeling the the nylon hose off several of them. You should have no problem if you put them in the dryer. Thanks for giving this a try and commenting! Tracy

Hi Valeria,

Yes, they would still work in a centrifuge dryer. Centrifuge dryer’s tend to be smaller than regular dryers, I would suggest making your dryer balls about half the size recommended in my post. I would love to hear what you think about them! Thanks for following us and leaving your comment, Tracy

Hi Lynn!

Yes, using a different EO when the first one wears off will work. You can change your EO’s and continue to use the wool dryer balls for years to come! Thanks so much for following us, Tracy

Crumbled up ball of aluminum foil works for static electricity.

Michelle,

I did a little research on this for you and here is what I learned. You’re safe to assume we’re talking sheep wool when the word ‘wool’ is used, but the product of a coat of an animal is wool. Here is where alpaca comes in, when you think of the color “blue” You have something specific in mind. But turquoise is blue, and navy is blue, and cobalt is blue.

Likewise, when you say wool, you think sheep, but alpaca is wool, and angora is wool, and llama is wool. Alpaca does felt, I would love to hear how your alpaca dryer balls turn out! Thanks for following us, Tracy

Hey Jessica,

I’m pretty sure I remember getting 6 – 8 balls per skein, I kept mine on the small size. You are going to love these dryer balls, the work great! So glad you follow us, please let me know how your dryer balls work out for you! Hope you have an awesome day, Tracy

Hey Lynn!

Most of the time it eliminates both the need for dryer sheets and fabric softener. If you have static cling issues, throw a crumbled ball of tin foil in with the dryer ball. It should remove any static cling issues. So glad you are following us! Tracy

Hi Bethany,

Yes you can use colored wool as long as it is 100% wool yarn. I agree, colors would make them really pretty! I’m so happy you are going to make some for yourself, Tracy

Hey Cheri!

Nadya,

You can throw your dryer balls in the dryer with the towels. So glad you like the idea and my photos, thanks for following us and commenting! Tracy

awesome thank you!!

Hi Brittany!

You are correct, the wax chemicals from dryer sheets can coat the internal hoses and components of a dryer which could result in a fire hazard. Wool is flame resistant and if there was to be a fire your dryer balls will smolder and not catch fire. Have a great day, Tracy
