I got these for my mother because she love’s penguins and she was in need of some dryer balls. They work great and always fun to find among the laundry.

We used to have plastic dryer balls that looked like hedgehogs; we used them until they fell to pieces. These are quieter in the machine, cuter and I feel much better about using them in every wash!

Hi Nadia! These 100% wool balls are not scented, but adding a few drops of essential oil to them will make for some seriously fresh smelling clothes. Check this one out, by Friendsheep!

How many dryer balls would be recommended per use, and how big are they?

Admin EarthHero –
Great question! Friendsheep Eco Dryer Balls are about 3 inches in diameter each – about the size of a baseball! We recommend you use 4 balls for small loads and 6 for full loads, but using all 6 for all loads will help shorten the drying time overall!
