Felted Wool Dryer Balls

If you know anybody that use felted wool balls in their dryer instead of fabric sheets or plastic balls, will tell you how much it helps with the drying time, static cling and the Environemnt! I have been using my Dryer Balls for over a year now and they still work.  The Dryer Balls are felted with 100% wool.  Here is a little bit of information that I found on the internet about dryer sheets.

Facts:

Dryer sheets and fabric softeners coat the fibers of your clothing, inhibiting their ability to breath and/or absorb.
Dryer sheets and fabric softeners contain these chemicals:
 Benzyl acetate: Linked to pancreatic cancer • Benzyl Alcohol: Upper respiratory tract irritant • Ethanol: On the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Hazardous Waste list and can cause central nervous system disorders • Alpha-Terpineol: Can cause respiratory problems, including fatal edema, and central nervous system damage • Ethyl Acetate: A narcotic on the EPA's Hazardous Waste list • Camphor: Causes central nervous system disorders • Chloroform: Neurotoxic, anesthetic and carcinogenic • Linalool: A narcotic that causes central nervous system disorders • Pentane: A chemical known to be harmful if inhaled


Dryer Sheets take years to break down in the land fill.

Dryer Balls create loft in the dryer allowing the heat to distribute more evenly, hence reducing drying time, hence reducing electrical use, hence reducing carbon foot print AND electric bills!

Dryer Balls @ $12 a package, with a minimum life of 1 year, used several times a week for 50 weeks of a  year cost less then standard dryer sheets and definetly less then the more earth friendly dryer sheets.

Plastic dryer balls are, PLASTIC and can  damaging the sensors inside their dryer.

Wool Dryer Balls are much quieter then the plastic ones.

PINCUSHION TUESDAY

Goodness I almost forgot to show you my latest pincushion today. I also have some wool swatches to show you that I hand dyed this past weekend.  But first, let me tell you about this precious little pincushion.  The cup itself is only 1 1/2" high and with the needle felt its about 2 1/4".  As you can see the its made from Royal Adderley fine bone china and the design is the Nova Scotia Tartan Reg. no196-26029.  Its needle felted with lovely green Bluefaced Leicester wool.  Remember all my pincushions can be easily removed for the china collecter.  What a great little Christmas gift for the Nova Scotia Tartan enthousiast.

First snowfall and primitive rose mat finished

We had our first official snowfall of the year here today.  I think we got about 5cm and what a pretty day it was out there.  Here are a couple of pics that I took today around the firepit.  We always enjoy a Saturday afternoon fire outside and even better when its snowing.  The first pic is around 4;30pm and the second one is about an hour later.  I also finished the primitive rose beginner mat tonight and thought I would show you how it came out.  I think it will go on my little wooden bench.

BEGINNER RUG HOOKING KIT

Hi folks,  I thought I would show you a small rug hooking kit that I'm working on and will be selling in the shop.  I have done a beginner class with this little mat and hooks up well.  I'm trying to keep costs down so its affordable for new rug hookers.  The kit will include a hook, pattern, cut material to any approximate  color specified for the rose, binding, cording and instructions.  The hook can be taken out for the person that already has one and priced accordingly. The finished mat will be about 14"x 9" and can be used to hang on the wall or on a table.  I will show you the mat again when finished and the kit itself. So here is the unfinished mat so far.
