A humane haircut | Our alpaca fleece dryer balls are made from soft, 100% alpaca fleece fiber. Alpaca fleece come from animals that are regularly sheared as part of thier normal care. Shearing helps alpacas stay comfortable in warmer weather, and the fleece is transformed into a durable, reusable laundry essential.
The Fleece | Alpaca coats are made from hollow fibers of hair; this hair can absorb moisture and decrease drying time. Reducing drying time saves money and protects delicate fabrics. Additionally, the fiber in the dryer balls does NOT break down over time, meaning they will last you for years.
Using dryer balls is easy | Simply throw 3 balls into the dryer with a load of laundry. As they tumble around, the alpaca balls keep your laundry separated. This reduces drying time, decreases static cling, and helps collect more lint. The coarseness of alpaca wool causes a gentle friction that softens fabric fibers and makes large items, like comforters, blankets, and towels, fluffier. Once you have retrieved your alpaca balls from all the places they like to hide in your clothing, simply store them inside your dryer or the box they came in until your next use.
Scenting | Add a few drops of essential oil to your dryer balls for a faint lingering smell on your fresh laundry. The amount of drops depends on your desired scent strength.
Fully compostable | When you’re ready to retire your dryer balls, you can do so in your own backyard. They will break down naturally without assistance.
Small business Supporting Small Business | Yes, you can find cheaper dryer balls online for sourced material outside the USA. However, Rustic Strength's Alpaca Dryer Balls support two woman-owned American manufacturers, small businesses, and American alpaca farms. We choose, test, and stand behind the products we offer because we believe in supporting small-business supply chains and bringing you thoughtfully selevted alternatives to mass-mass-market imports.

Why Wool?
Unlike conventional dryer sheets and synthetic scrubbers that can leave behind residues, wool works naturally—no fillers, no fragrances hiding phthalates, no coatings that build up on your fabrics or surfaces.
This is a small swap that helps reduce your daily toxin exposure—and over time, that matters.

This welcome pack is a great variety of products and scents! A wonderful option if you're just starting out and want to test a range of products yourself. I would actually love to get a couple scents in each product type, but I'd still recommend this to anyone. It would also make a great gift!
