Suddenly I find myself doing crazy things like making dryer balls. How did I get here?
I had wool yarn that a neighbor gave to me from when she helped clean out someone’s garage – so my total cost was pretty much nothing. I did wash the yarn before I wound it, because it smelled like garage and there was some stuff stuck in it. But I figure even with the extra work to wash the yarn, they
are free. Even if they turn out to not help at all I won’t be heartbroken. Took four skeins to make eight balls.
The felting was interesting, since I’ve never done it before; but luckily I wore a hole in my nylons on Sunday, so I had them to knot the balls in. It’s all working out well so far, don’t you think? Mondays are laundry day AND husband had the day off, so I did – let’s see – five loads of laundry? And the dryer balls got in on either three or four of those. Plenty to felt the yarn together. Wahoo!
