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!!
