Why we picked it

Felted wool balls tumble between your clothes in the dryer, separating layers so warm air moves through faster. They stand in for dryer sheets, which are single-use polyester coated in softening chemicals. Drying time drops by up to a quarter, static calms down, and the balls keep working for around a thousand loads. A drop of essential oil on one gives you scented laundry if you miss it.

What it’s made of

Natural wool. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.

Wool
Natural, renewable, temperature-regulating fibre.
