Step-by-step Homemade Wool DIY dryer ball instructions
1. Begin by taking the wool roving of your choice. Make sure to take more than you expect as wool will shrink as it felts. Get your 100% natural wool roving here.
2. Start wrapping around your wool roving around your finger. Make sure to wind up the wool into the ball by switching directions while wrapping.
3. Wrap around tightly and make it into a ball of your desired shape. Again make sure to add extra wool as it will shrink while felting.
4. Once you’ve acquired the desired size, tuck the end of the wool into the ball itself or you can needle-felt the ball too. Learn more about the needle felting process to make your craft through our tutorial blog here.
