As an alternative to single user dryer sheets, wool dryer balls helps to create space between the clothes in your dryer to allow better airflow and faster drying (while also helping to reduce static).  Please note also, like many of our products, this item arrives with no individual pre-packaging (besides the cotton bag) to reduce material waste for a more sustainable supply chain. We use paper and cardboard packaging and dunnage to ensure it is shipped safely. Not using plastic packaging and minimal usage of other biodegradable / recyclable packaging is a key part of our mission as a brand of sustainable personal care and home products.
