These are an easy way to be a little more "green". They replace fabric softeners and dryer sheets - which are just full of icky chemicals.
The dryer balls reduce static. They bounce around your dryer creating pockets of air which, in turn, helps reduce drying time. I would suggest using at least 4 of them at a time. More would be even better!
To make these 4 balls it cost me $9. Think how much this will save you - not ever having to buy dryer sheets again!! Just be sure to use wool yarn.
This is the tutorial I used to make mine:

I ran into no issues at all! It was easy peasy. Give it a try!

My almost finished product! Aren't they purdy? They still need to be felted a little more before use.
