The World’s First Hemp Dryer Balls
These hemp dryer balls are the eco alternative to tumble dryer sheets, or wool dryer balls (often from sheep destined for slaughter). They allow greater airflow and heat circulation for faster drying time, absorbing moisture into fibres.
Suitable for any fabric, use 3 to 6 per load. Wash before first use. Hemp dryer balls are five times more absorbent than wool (due to shared manufacturing facilities, there may be low levels of wool present, so be aware due to allergies).

Keeping Safe with Tumble Driers
Tumble dryers cost a fortune to run. But if you like them (or have no other way of drying clothes):
- Register appliances, to be notified of recalls.
- Never leave tumble dryers unattended.
- Remove and bin lint after each cycle (don’t leave in gardens, it could choke birds).
- Don’t overload sockets, and be aware of scorch/burn marks and visible wires. Ensure dryers are well-ventilated, and use the ‘cool down’ cycle, before removing clothes.
- If buying new dryers, shops by law must recycle the old ones.
