Dryer Ball Upgrade Kit Instructions

Dryer Ball Upgrade Kit Instructions

To upgrade your dryer ball, you will need: a cover, a felted dryer ball, a yarn needle, and at the end, scissors and an old sock or old pair of nylons.

Put the cover on your ball.

Thread the yarn of one tail of the cover through your needle.  It helps to dampen the yarn and pinch it with your fingers before threading it.

Start by putting your needle through all of the stitches on that end to pull the circle closed,

then stitch through each of the ridges to make your seam,

and stich through all the stitches at the other end to close the circle, just as you did at the beginning.

Tie what's left of that tail to the other one to make a knot.

Pull both ends through the middle of the ball (or as close to it as you can get) with your needle

 and cut off the excess.

Felt by tying your balls into an old sock or nylon and washing on hot in the washer and drying on high heat.  The dye from the wool may bleed a bit so you may want to wash separately, with like colors, or use a couple of color catcher sheets.

Once they are felted, you can throw your balls in the dryer with every load to soften your clothes and reduce drying time.... and occasionally pull them out to admire your hard work.  Good job! :) 

 (no, the felting process will not magically change green to purple... I just didn't have a picture of the felted green ones by themselves!) :)
