Why would you want to make your own wool dryer balls? They decrease the drying time for your clothes, increase fluffiness and reduce static and wrinkles. Making your clothes look and feel that much better.
Just throw one or two wool dryer balls into your dryer. The wool balls help separate the clothes, allowing hot air to circulate around the clothes, reducing drying time, wrinkles and static.
