Dryer Balls

Wool dryer balls are a fantastic way to lower your energy bill while enhancing laundry efficiency. Not only do they reduce drying time, but they also serve as a practical and eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets. Plus, they’re a quick, enjoyable knit, making them an ideal project for using up leftover wool yarn!

In this easy-to-follow pattern, you'll create wool dryer balls that are worked flat in Garter Stitch, utilizing the yarn held double for extra durability. The balls are sewn closed and cinched at both the first and last rows, ensuring they maintain a perfect spherical shape. With simple shaping techniques employed at the bottom and top of each ball, you'll achieve smooth, rounded forms that are aesthetically pleasing. The selvage edges are designed for easy sewing, allowing even beginners to enjoy the process.

To complete your wool dryer balls, felting is required, turning your knitted pieces into functional laundry helpers that will last for years. These wool dryer balls not only enhance your laundry routine but also make thoughtful, handmade gifts for friends and family. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned knitter, this eco-friendly project is perfect for anyone looking to contribute to sustainable living while enjoying the art of knitting!
