Wool Dryer Balls -
These are great and  NO CHEMICALS!​ They will actually help to dry your load of wash quicker because the wool helps to absorb the moisture - you do not need to worry about the dryer balls drying, they dry as the clothing dries!  
             (100% wool &  felted)

ONLINE STORE
Online store is open, WV customers will pay sales tax, 6%. I will bill you your shipping invoice as soon as I have your order ready to go! Thank you!
Dryer balls make a perfect toy for a baby! You may throw it in the washer and dryer to have it clean and it is 100% natural and large enough that the baby has no chance of choking or pulling any of it off while teething........simple, practical & safe!
Single Dryer Balls: $5 each  ordering code: SDB

Dryer Ball Set (5): $24.00           ordering code: DBS
You may add a scent to the dryer balls with "essential oil" (4-5 drops per dryer ball) - allow it to sit and dry overnight and since it is not actually "oil", it should not stain any of the clothing! The only items that the wool dryer balls will not remove the static is polyester (such as nylon slips). The dryer balls will last for years! What do you do with the dryer balls when you are not drying your wash? You may simply store them in the dryer (don't forget to clean the filter w/each load as you should always do), you may display them in a wooden box or an old strainer but this depends on how you decorate you home - be creative!

How long do they last? There are two (2) adults at our farm and a set of five (5) last us 5+ year's. They are great and will save you money for sure!

How much yarn do you need for a knitted project?
To estimate how much yarn you need for a project, you can use a few methods: swatch method, yarn weight method, or a combination of both. Here's a breakdown of each: 
1. Swatch Method:
  • Measure and weigh a swatch: Knit or crochet a small piece of your intended pattern with the yarn you'll be using.
  • Calculate swatch area and weight: Measure the width and height of the swatch to determine its area (e.g., square inches or centimeters) and weigh it.
  • Calculate grams per square inch/cm2: Divide the weight of the swatch by its area.
  • Estimate project area: Calculate the total area of your project.
  • Estimate yarn needed: Multiply the project area by the grams per square inch/cm2 to estimate the total weight of yarn needed. 

2. Yarn Weight Method:
  • Use yarn label information:
    If the yarn label provides yardage or meters per weight unit (e.g., yards/100g or meters/100g), you can use this information to calculate how many skeins you need.
  • Estimate yarn length:
    Multiply the number of skeins by the yardage/meterage per skein to estimate the total yarn length needed.
  • Consider stitch gauge:
    If the pattern calls for a specific stitch gauge (number of stitches and rows per inch/cm), you can adjust the estimated yarn length based on the size of your project. 

3. Yarn Count Method:
  • Understanding yarn count:
    Yarn count, expressed in terms like Tex, Decitex, or Denier, indicates the thickness of the yarn.
  • Using yarn count to estimate yardage:
    Study.com explains that higher yarn count numbers generally indicate thicker yarn, and can be used to estimate yardage when combined with weight and length measurements. ​
