Our wool dryer balls are made of the finest New Zealand wool and are about the size of a softball. They reduce drying time and leave clothes soft and fluffy thanks to their massaging effect on the fibers as they bounce around inside.
Save money and have zero waste by using wool dryer balls instead of single-use dryer sheets. They're also gentle on sensitive skin and free from synthetic fragrances and dyes. It all started with these original white dryer balls.
If six is too much, we have a 3-pack of penguin wool dryer balls too.

Benefits of Wool Dryer Balls
Our wool dryer balls are 100% natural, non-toxic, and make your clothes soft. From reducing drying time and saving energy to replacing fabric softener and dryer sheets, these little woolen powerhouses are here to transform how you do laundry.
Let’s see what benefits wool dryer balls have to offer.
Accelerate Drying Time
Wool dryer balls could speed up your drying process by a whopping 25%! These wooly wonders absorb surplus moisture and create air pockets between your laundry items. The result is a quicker drying time thanks to improved airflow in the dryer.
Reduce Wrinkles
Wool dryer balls work their magic by keeping your clothes moving and preventing them from sticking to the dryer's sides. This enhanced tumble action means fewer wrinkles.
Quieter Operation
Wool dryer balls are superior to tennis balls or plastic dryer balls because they create less noise and rattle in the dryer. Tennis balls do not have the same level of softness, static reduction, or drying time efficiency as wool dryer balls. They may also be too harsh for delicate fabrics, causing damage or pilling.
No Unwanted Fragrance
Our wool dryer balls are unscented and ideal for those with allergies, asthma, or sensitivity to fragrances. If you do miss that fresh laundry smell, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
Or, buy our essential oil scenting spray, spritz your wool dryer balls, and enjoy the fragrances of lavender, orange, or lemon.
Environmentally Friendly
Our wool dryer balls are crafted from renewable, natural wool, promoting sustainability. Their ability to reduce drying time leads to significant energy savings and decreases carbon emissions. Unlike disposable dryer sheets, which contribute to landfill waste, these wool balls last up to 1,000 loads and are biodegradable at the end of their lifespan. By replacing chemical-based fabric softeners or dryer sheets, they prevent harmful substances from entering water systems, thus safeguarding aquatic ecosystems.
Absolutely Adorable
Last but not least, these little wonders are adorable. Whether you opt for smiling sheep, playful pups, or marching penguins, you'll get a cuteness overload while improving your laundry routine.
How to Use Wool Dryer Balls
Dryer balls are super easy to use.
- Toss your dryer balls in with your wet laundry. Dryer balls need space to bounce around and circulate air, so don’t overfill the dryer.
- Close the door and start the dryer.
- Keep an eye on your laundry because the drying time will be shorter than it would be without dryer balls.
- Take your clothes out of the dryer and store the balls somewhere dry to avoid dampness and odors.
For fresh-smelling clothes, spritz your dryer balls with our Anti-Static Scenting Spray for the ultimate in freshness. Or, create an essential oil blend of your choice.
How Many Wool Dryer Balls Do You Need
Put anywhere from three to twelve wool dryer balls in your dryer, depending on your needs and preferences. For small to medium-sized loads, three balls are enough. For large loads, 5-7 balls will do the job. For extra-large loads, use 8 to 12 balls to get the best results.
