And if you add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to a dryer ball, you will have fabulously scented towels and sheets (and laundry room). Handmade from cvm wool, angora wool and mohair (these are kind of designer balls), they are all natural, eco-friendly and affordable. In natural colors of white, gray, brown and charcoal. Or hand dyed in soft pastel colors. add 3-4 balls to your dryer and enjoy! for sale on Etsy
