DIY Wool Dryer Balls!

Want a laundry money saving tip? If so, you can make DIY Wool Dryer Balls! I started making these a month ago and have saved on the cost of dryer sheets! Plus, they do a better job of fluffing up my laundry. If you’d like to make these dryer balls as well, be sure to have the following supplies at home:

• 1 large Skein 100% Natural Fisherman’s Wool Yarn
• 1 pair Panty Hose
• Optional: Crochet Hook
• Optional: Essential Oils for Scent

PS: I was able to find most of these supplies for the wool dryer balls at my local Hobby store (minus the panty hose), so be sure to check there first.
