Alpaca Dryer Balls

New & Improved Alpaca Dryer Balls

Our new Alpaca Dryer Balls are 2x larger and denser than our previous version, giving you better clothing separation, improved static reduction, and more effective tumbling with every load.

You aren't buying another imported dryer ball. You're supporting two woman-owned, small American manufacturers and the small farms and businesses we work with.

Why Alpaca?
If you've ever avoided traditional wool dryer balls because you are sensitive or allergic to sheep's wool or lanolin, alpaca fiber offers a wonderful alternative. Our dryer balls are made from 100% alpaca fleece, a naturally soft animal fiber that doesn't contain the lanolin found in sheep's wool. Alpaca fiber is also naturally moisture-wicking and helps keep laundry separated as it tumbles.

No dyes. No perfumes. No added chemicals. Just naturally beautiful alpaca fiber.

A Humane Haircut
Our alpaca fleece comes from alpacas that are regularly sheared as part of their normal care. Shearing does not harm the alpaca; in fact, it helps keep them comfortable during warmer months. Most alpacas are sheared in the spring, allowing them to grow a new coat before the cooler months return.

The Fleece Makes a Difference
Alpaca fibers have a unique structure that helps manage moisture while your laundry tumbles. By keeping clothing separated, our dryer balls allow more air to circulate through the load, which can help reduce drying time.
The gentle friction created as the balls move through your laundry also helps separate and soften fabrics naturally without fabric softener or dryer sheets. They're especially helpful with towels, blankets, comforters, and other bulky items that tend to bunch together in the dryer.  Alpaca fiber is exceptionally durable because you can use your dryer balls load after load for years.

How to Use Them
Simply toss 3 Alpaca Dryer Balls into your dryer with each load. As they tumble, they:

• Help separate clothing for better airflow
• Help reduce drying time
• Reduce static cling
• Help collect lint and pet hair
• Naturally soften fabrics
• Help fluff towels, blankets, and other bulky items

When your laundry is finished, retrieve the balls from wherever they have managed to hide in your clothing and store them in your dryer or their box until the next load.

Want a Little Scent?
Add a few drops of essential oil or phthalate-free fragrance oil to the dryer balls before adding them to your dryer. The scent will be subtle and much lighter than scented dryer sheets or fabric softeners. Start with a few drops and adjust to your preference.

Why Buy Ours?
You can find dryer balls online for less. We know that. But when you buy Rustic Strength Alpaca Dryer Balls, you're choosing something different.
• You're supporting two woman-owned American manufacturers.
• You're supporting small businesses and American alpaca farms.
• You're keeping your dollars in small-business supply chains instead of sending them to anonymous mass importers.

And you're getting a product Rustic Strength chose, tested, packaged, and stands behind not simply another inexpensive imported item with a new label on it.

Small businesses supporting small businesses. Made in the USA.

When They're Finally Worn Out
When your dryer balls reach the end of their useful life, you can compost them. Alpaca is a natural animal fiber that will eventually return to the earth without leaving synthetic plastic fibers behind.
