Bright dryer balls stuffed with felted wool scraps

 I made a set of eight dryer balls for my sister for Christmas!!  I bought a bright pair of socks and cut them into 3" lengths.  I tied off one of the edges by stitching in a strong thread and then gathering it really hard and tucking the extra to the inside.  Next, I created wool balls using felted wool scraps wrapped very tightly with wool strips and wool yarn.  I stuffed them into the little pockets I made with the socks and ran another length of the same thread to the other edge of the pockets.  I pulled them really tight using a needle to stuff the cut edges into the openings and tied them off.  I pulled the ends of the threads into the center and through the balls to hide them.  They are some of her favorite colours!!
