I bought three skeins of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes bare bulky yarn to make six wool dryer balls. I wound two dryer balls from each skein. After winding the balls I secure them in knee high stockings to felt the balls. I put three balls in each knee high. I put one wool ball in and I tie a knot in the knee high, then I put the second wool ball in and tie a knot, then I put the third ball in and tie a knot. I took a picture of this step but my camera wasn't charged and it didn't take the picture.
Once the balls are in the knee high, I soak them to get them good and wet. I wash them in hot water with a towel and detergent. Once they are washed, I put them in a hot dryer with the towel. The first go in the dryer didn't felt the balls right away, so I wet the balls two more times with just plain water and wet the towel and ran them in a hot dryer. After the third dryer cycle the balls had felted very well. I cut the knee highs off and put the balls in a bowl to let them completely dry. I made these for my daughter for her birthday.
