Yikes, I decided to try steeking.  Meghan from the Itsjustmeghan podcast is having a little contest.  I had this swatch and decided to go for it.

Wool Balls!

Wool Dryer Balls

I made some wool balls to put in the dryer.  They act as a de-static-fier and help soften clothes.  I’ve been using white vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser of my washer for a couple of weeks and am amazed at how soft it makes the clothes.  Helps get all the soap residue off I guess.  Once the clothes are dry they do not smell anything but clean.  Also, my towels actually absorb water now.  SWEET!
