Each ball is approx. 2-3 inches across, 4-6 inches in circumference, approx. size of a tennis ball The soft 100% alpaca fiber is used with these guys giving you the ultimate benefit of softness, absorbency, and freedom from static cling and wrinkles. Nylons are used to form the balls, leaving behind a "belly button" hole from where the knot is cut off. It does not hinder the use or quality of the ball. Recommend, for best results using 2-3 for small, med loads , 6 for larger loads to save up to 25% of your drying time!

Alpaca wool dryer balls are an inexpensive and reusable Eco-Friendly alternative to dryer sheets. The hollow core fiber of alpaca absorbs water, which reduces drying time to protect delicate clothing and save on energy bills. Adding several balls to the dryer will separate clothing, which also reduces drying time and decreases static. As the dryer balls rub up against items in the dryer, gentle friction helps to soften fabric fibers and fluff large items like comforters, eliminating the need for fabric softeners and dryer sheets.

Alpaca is also hypoallergenic, making it possible for those allergic to the lanolin to use, as well as babies with their delicate new skin. Perfect for cloth diaper users. Go chemical free! Save your clothing from harmful chemical breakdown from dryer sheets and fabric softeners. Don't settle for knock offs or plastic ones ( which emit harmful chemicals once heated in the dryer!)

Fiber doesnt break down, therefore lasting years! Simply keep them in the dryer at all times. They do like to sneak in arm and leg holes. Simply return to dryer for next load of wet clothes! Machine washable.

Unscented. Want a scent? Add several drops of your favorite essential oils, will absorb into the fiber for wonderful scent lasting 3-4 loads!

*** the felting process requires the use of soap for those with allergies my balls are made with all natural ,fragrance free, soap!!

*** for issues of "shedding" fibers, try running through a hot wash cycle first before using in dryer. All fiber is different and will stick to other balls that havent been felted, normally called guard hairs

*if nylon becomes exposed over time simply remove

last photo shows a ball cut open to see inside is all fiber



fact sheet included
this is for 6 dryer balls

* I have formulated the most cost efficient way of making the alpaca dryer ball using the what is usually wasted fiber from these beautiful animals. Please note each one is different. They may not be the prettiest, same size as others, leave behind more nylon on one vs another, not all uniform size since handmade, etc. But I can assure they will work as claimed. Profits from the sales do go towards the feeding and care of my herd. They also thank you!
