How to Make Wool Dryer Balls and How NOT to Make Them! A Lesson From My Mistake!!

Welcome to my channel! My name is Crystal and I'm a stay at home wife living a simple and wonderful life with my retired husband. I'm an empty nest mother of 8 (fully homeschooled children) and grandma to 17!

On my channel I share all about homemaking, home management, encouragement, ideas and tips to help you live your best homemaking life! My desire is to encourage homemakers in this blessed calling of caring for our family and home.

I post videos on Tuesday and Friday. At least that is my goal!

I’m so glad you didn’t scrub this video, thank you for sharing what you learned so I can avoid the same mistake!

you could just go nuts with a multi-needle felting gadget and turn it felty. I started with old wool socks, wrapped wool/alpaca yarn around them.

I’ve never used dryer balls, but it seems like an interesting concept. Your simple mistake reminds me of my apron mistake I told you about! We all do it sometimes! I used to make homemade dryer sheets by soaking old strips of wash cloths in a container of fabric softener. Since it’s just my husband and myself now I don’t have a lot of laundry. It’s now just as inexpensive to purchase a large box of dryer sheets. They will last me a very long time.
I hope you have a wonderful week Crystal!

Thanks for posting this. It will help us all to carefully, carefully read the fine print. In a similar way, my "Queen of Creme Brulee" crown was removed because of "ultra-pasturized" whipping cream. The stuff had already been super heated and therefore would not make the custard.

Awesome video Crystal. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am a spinner and knitter/crocheter and I make my own dryer balls and they work amazing. I won't ever go back to dryer sheets that are full of chemicals. Thank you again and God Bless

This video is just great, I am so grateful to you, also, for the tip on making these dryer balls with feltable yarn. I made several from needle felting and honestly found it to be risky for me (and a got a poke or two), although I really like the result - they honestly do work. However, Hoebbii has a sale today (5/13/24) $2.50 a ball for a feltable yarn, which I was so happy to find. Budget friendly, and not high shipping. Thanks so much for the info on washable vs. non washable, I was not sure about that. I will definitely share your channel with my family - they enjoy home made goodness, too. By the way no way do you look old enough to be a mom of 10 kids and a grandma of 17! Great job, you look terrific.

Interesting video Crystal - thank you. I might try this sometime. I must say though that you are looking really well, glowing almost, and I am seriously impressed that you can sit on your couch crosslegged! Must be more IF benefits 🥰
PS Did my first 19:5 clean fast and the weight is dropping off now! X

That is really neat Crystal i want to try this, thank you for sharing, can you show yours when you get different yarn. Have a lovely weekend 🙏♥️🐦🌷

Im thinking once the used dryer balls are done, they would make great toys for kittens/cats :)

What if you don't have panty hose and haven't in years. 😂
Thank you for sharing
