Sloth Wool Dryer Balls | LVL 1: Beginner friendly

Instructor: Alan Pippy | Included: 2 hrs of instruction & supplies

Protecting ourselves and our planet have never been so important. Now is a great time to move towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle. During this workshop you will learn about the benefits of sustainable and eco friendly living and make 3 of your very own wool dryer balls to take home.

What makes wool dryer balls so AWESOME?

Wool dryer balls typically last for about 2-4 years or 1,000 loads of laundry. Therefore, not only are they a great eco friendly alternative to dryer sheets but, they are budget friendly too!

These things look like overgrown tennis balls and are made of 100% wool yarn, that over time becomes “felted,” making them especially durable and not at all prone to unraveling. One set of wool dryer balls will last what seems like forever, softening thousands of loads of laundry—no batteries, refills, repairs or reconditioning required. Making these a wonderful eco friendly alternative to dryer sheets and fabric softener.

How do wool dryer balls work?

Wool dryer balls cut at least 25% off the time to dry a load of laundry, saving time and energy. They work their way into tight spaces and that’s what makes them so awesome. Dryer balls also agitate against the fibers in clothes and linens, which makes everything feel softer coming out of the dryer.

During this fun workshop you will learn how to make three of your very own sloth wool dryer balls, through the art of needle felting. Never needle felted before? No sweat! It's not as hard, as you might think. Seriously, anyone can do it and we are excited to teach you.
