Dryer Balls Update

An update on the dryer balls experiment..... I had two yarns wound for dryer balls- one was a 100% wool yarn that came from a grey sweater I recycled the wool from that said DO NOT WASH or something to that effect. These came out very nicely after a couple or three trips through the washer and dryer. They're drying for the last time now. Pictures later.

The other brand, Cleckheaton 100% wool, WILL NOT FELT!!! It came apart and came out a tangled mess, did not felt and had to be tossed. It said it couldn't be washed so it should have come out nicely. A shame since it was a pretty variegated teal too. Would have been pretty. It wasn't superwash wool either.

Soooo..... pictures later when they get done. I'll let you know how they do in the laundry.

I had been wondering about the dryer balls. Guess it may be hit or miss with the wool. My DIL's mother died. The Dr. could not believe she held on for so long. Each day they would say its a matter of hours. Pray for Steph her grief is compounded by the worse step father on earth.
