6 XL balls from 100% New Zealand wool, felted into compacted fibers. In the dryer they create gaps between clothes — hot air circulates better and clothes dry faster, with fewer wrinkles.
Warranty: Conformity
Return Right: 14 Days
The balls move through the clothes and mechanically separate them, letting hot air circulate throughout the drum. The effect: drying finishes faster. US DOE and Energy Star reports estimate an average reduction of 20-25% on mixed cycles.
Because clothes do not stay tangled in each other, they come out less wrinkled — part of the ironing work is already done. They do not fully replace the iron, but for t-shirts and towels you do less.
Scented dryer sheets emit volatile organic compounds during drying (literature on VOC emissions from laundry products exists — e.g., Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health). Wool balls emit nothing extra. They do not fragrance — if you want a scent, drop 2 drops of essential oil on one of the balls.
