Why Use Dryer Balls?
- Our undyed, natural Alpaca Dryer Balls are a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to chemically treated dryer sheets, helping you reduce waste, and save money in the long run.
- Handmade in Pennsylvania (by me!) with fiber from our own alpacas, these dryer balls are long-lasting and effective. They last until you lose them!
- Use all 3 Alpaca Dryer Balls with each load and they will only get better with use, making them a sustainable alternative to traditional dryer sheets and liquid softeners.
- Made in USA of 100% Alpaca Fiber.
Pro tips:
- Use ALL 3 with each load for best results.
- They will NOT reduce static, but will soften clothing and bedding.
- To further reduce static, we have been told that making a ball of aluminum foil and adding it to the dryer along with your dryer balls while you dry your items help.
- They'll continue to firm up with each use, but if you feel that they need a "recharge", go ahead and throw them in with your wash cycle.
- You may notice some shedding at first, but it will stop, as you can see from the photo below of my husbands black twill slacks!

Before we wash our fiber, we blow out the dust! How much dust? This video shows how the dust and second cuts we miss during skirting come right out. Alpacas love to roll in a dust bath. Blowing out the fiber after skirting reduces the amount of water we use. It's that much less dust in our products and saves wear and tear on our equipment.

Alpaca Fiber Care Tips
- Alpaca fiber is naturally antimicrobial, so it doesn't need to be washed often.
- When it does need a good clean, wash on a gentle cool cycle (preferable a wool cycle if your machine has one) with a mild detergent, or hand wash.
- For best results, turn your garment inside out before washing.
- The best way to dry your alpaca garment is just to lay it out on a flat surface to air-dry.
