You Will Need
- Wool yarn
- Scissors
- Old nylons
- Small bowl
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 10 to 20 drops lavender essential oil
Instructions
- Start by unraveling a six-foot length of wool yarn from the skein. Fold the lengths of yarn until they measure a two inch bundle. Tie the center of the bundle securely with yarn.
- Now tie on the end of string from the skein, and start wrapping it around the folded center, continuously turning the ball. Wrap the ball until it measures three to four inches in diameter.
- To finish the softening balls, press into an old nylon, and then secure tightly with a knot. Continue feeding the balls into the nylon and securing separately until you have a long length of knotted laundry balls.
- Toss the nylon containing the rounds into the washing machine with a load of laundry, and then in the dryer to finish. Mix together the vinegar and essential oil in a small bowl. Remove rounds from the nylon. Let air dry, and your laundry balls are ready to use.
