Lavender Wool Dryer Ball: A Reusable Swap for Dryer Sheets
Save
Our Lavender Wool Dryer Ball is a reusable wool ball that bounces around in the dryer with your clothes and brings a bit of the farm into the laundry room. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil and your towels and sheets come out with a light lavender scent. It is also, frankly, the cutest thing in most laundry rooms.

Both work the same way. Pick the one you like looking at, or get one of each.
Scenting the ball
- Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the wool.
- Let it dry before using. This is the important step. Oil soaks into the wool fibers instead of transferring as a wet spot onto clothes.
- Toss it into the dryer with your laundry and run the cycle as usual.
- Refresh with a few more drops when the scent fades.
Dropping oil onto a ball and throwing it straight in can leave oily marks on fabrics, so patience pays off here.
How many to use
One ball adds scent and a bit of tumbling action. For larger loads such as towels, sheets or a comforter, many people use several wool balls together, since more balls mean more movement in the drum. You can mix a scented lavender ball in with unscented wool balls you already own.
Caring for wool
- Store it in a dry spot in the laundry room between loads.
- If it gets a little fuzzy over time, that is normal for wool.
- Keep essential oil bottles capped and out of reach of kids and pets.
A laundry-day gift
A dryer ball makes a sweet, practical gift for new homeowners, college students and anyone trying to cut back on single-use products. Pair it with our laundry detergent powder or a lavender sachet in the Gift Box Builder.
