This set is ready to go. This is a listing for a set of 4, wool dryer balls. These wool dryer balls are filled with dried lavender buds, which have been securely needle felted into the middle. This set is also great as room fresheners, drawer freshener, closet scent, suitcase freshener while travelling. You can also use these as home decor...a natural, boho, eco friendly decoration! Great in a funky bowl on a shelf or table.
Each ball is approx 8 inches around. They are approx the size of a tennis ball. This is a typically sized set for Dryer Balls. The difference between this set and my regular unscented options, is that these have not been put through the wet felting process as I didn't want to risk the lavender becoming damp inside. I have carefully dry felted this set only, taking extra time to make sure they are firm and secure. Dry felting is a labour intensive technique that is also time consuming. Although a bit more work goes into these lavender filled wool balls, I think the result is worth it!
**please note** this set is also suitable as a toy set for babies or children. Great way to teach size, shape, colour, texutre and smell... it's a fantastic sensory toy!
Dried lavender has a fantastic, long lasting scent. When you squeeze the wool dryer ball, the scent get activated even more, as well, the heat from the dryer acts as an activator for the scent. I use high quality lavender purchased from my local lavender farm (Lavender Sense). They do not use pesticides. Each ball is made with clean carded sheep wool batting which I get locally from a Lamton-Kent farmer. They do not use pesticides, hormones and they are free range. The wool roving on this set is from a fellow etsy shop, it's hand dyed, using natural dye. I've also used Bare Sheep wool yarn, hand spun. The colours include, natural clean carded grey sheep wool, dyed wool roving in soft yellow and green.
You will enjoy this set for years to come. I believe the lavender buds inside will last years. If you have any questions please contact me as I am able to get back to you rather quickly. If you would like to purchase these with another item, please ask for a shipping cost as I am able to better provide an accurate rate if I know what it is you'd like to be sent. Thanks!
My wool creations are prepared in my smoke-free home and kept separate from my pets.
