Made from 100% premium New Zealand wool, Friendsheep's dryer balls are not only fuzzy and cute but also incredibly functional. Fully reusable for over 1000 loads, these dryer balls reduce drying time by up to 40%. 

I toss them in every time I run a dryer, and they make my laundry so soft. My towels come out fluffy, soft, and lint-free, and my garments are so soft. Seriously, the softest T-shirts! 

The dryer balls are unscented; however, you can add several drops of essential oil to them before starting a drying cycle. Trust me, it smells much better than dryer sheets. 

A set includes 6 balls - you can use all of them if you have a full load or toss 2-3 balls if you have a smaller load.

I’m not a fan of dryer sheets, so I’ve been using wool dryer balls. With a few drops of lavender essential oil, my clothes are perfectly dry and pleasantly smelling. I picked up the Nellie’s Dryerballs on a whim, and so far, I like them.

These look like Kong dog toys (even the colors)! I’ll need to make sure that my dog won’t get to them because they look and feel like dog toys.

Nellie’s products feature whimsical, retro illustrations that make me smile. Nellie’s claims that these dryer balls 1. Soften fabrics naturally, 2. Reduce drying time, 3. Are non-toxic and contain no chemicals, 4. Reduce lint and wrinkles, and 5. Reduce ironing. The dryerballs’ performances are guaranteed for 2 years. 

Each package comes with a set of 2 dryer balls, and there were 2 varieties at the store I was shopping.


There are the regular dryer balls (blue) at $14.99 and the PVC-free dryer balls (red) at a slightly more expensive price of $19.99. I asked the associate about the difference between the two, and aside from the PVC-free feature, they are supposed to perform exactly the same.
