HOW TO USE WOOLY
TUMBLERS IN THE DRYER
*
PLOP IN DRYER.
* PLACE MAGNETS AT OPPOSITE SIDES INSIDE DRYER
* THAT’S IT! 
(The magnets attract positive charge produced as
clothing tumbles, drawing static away from the
clothing.)
RECOMMENDED QUANTITY
Small
loads: 1-3
balls
Medium loads: 5-6
balls
Large, heavy loads: 9-10
balls

…about the SAVINGS 
Reduced drying
time was such an advantage to me. Not
really because of the saved energy and/or
dollars, but because of something much more
precious to me, my T I M E.  Another
major savings is enjoyed as reduced wear and
tear on clothing because of shorter drying
times.
Here’s
the story behind
how I know they save drying time:
I
had been in
the habit of tossing a load in the wash and the
dryer at the same time. I almost
always used the same settings, 6 minute warm
wash, and right at the beginning of “Very Dry”
on my dryer’s automatic setting. I
knew the dryer would be done about 30 minutes
after the wash cycle. So, if I heard the washer
stop, I went down about 30 minutes afterward
with another load.
But,
when I used
the Wooly
Tumblers, the dryer buzzed its
“finished” buzz at the SAME TIME the washer
finished! That’s
30 precious minutes! Eowzer!
It's
really quite logical. Wicking
(drawing away liquid) is a natural property of
wool. So, as the Wooly Tumblers tumble
around, they wick the moisture from the
clothing, and then employ another natural
element of wool's makeup. Because woolen
fibers are full of air, they dry much quicker
than most fibers. So, it's simple science.
They suck out the water, and then dry in an
instant.
Of
course I did
the math on the dryer sheet savings, and
electric usage savings, but frankly it was
disappointing.
…about ZERO
CHEMICALS
Chemicals all
over your clothes may do nothing, or may kill
you in the end. Who
knows? What
I do know is Wooly
Tumblers don’t
have any hazard warnings. They are
anti-everything. They're nice. They
don’t leave fuzz or itchiness, or anything else
all over your clothing. And,
your towels won’t start repelling moisture!
…about the MASSAGES
To
use Wooly Tumblers as a
do-it-yourself back, foot, or shoulder massager
simply sit in a comfortable chair or couch, put
one to three Wooly
Tumblers where
you want to massage, and move slightly now and
then. For
example, if you have sore lower back muscles,
put the Wooly
Tumblers behind
your back, and rest against the back of your
couch. As
you relax, your normal little movements will be
enough to accomplish a gentle, yet effective
massage. I
think you’ll be surprised! You’ll
also be pleased to find the heat from your body
is absorbed by the Wooly
Tumblers, enhancing their effect!
 A
second way to
use the Wooly
Tumblers for
a great message is to roll them around the area
using the palm of your hand. Again,
as you roll, they warm up, and they feel great
for the recipient, and are also much less
stressful on the hands of the massager!
…about
the MAGNETS
I’m
rather proud of
this little addition, because I did the research
myself! It
came about because, although we had been
enjoying the benefits of Wooly
Tumblers several
months, my son had an objection.
Although he
thought they were great overall, he had too much
static left in his polyester work-out pants, and
began air-drying them as a result.
I hit the internet
with my reporter hat on, searching for an
answer. What
was static? What
counteracts static? Do
dryers all have static? Hasn’t someone invented
some gizmo to eliminate static? And
so forth.
Finally, after delving
quite a way into some interesting scientific
sites, I discovered the whole attraction to
magnetic poles thingy, and applied the
information to those pesky charges in tumbled
clothing. I tried two small craft
magnets. Success!
...about the SIZE
Each Wooly Tumbler begins
with one ounce of unbleached, washed roving.
However, being actually formed by human hands,
one may appear smaller than another. This
also accounts for slight irregularities in
shapes and such. You may also experience a
little additional shrinking, as they will
continue to felt tighter as you use them.
This does not affect
their usefulness at all.
...about the COLOR
We
have chosen to
use undyed, unbleached wool. If you're
interested in colors, you can dye the Wooly
Tumblersin a pot of colorfast dye. We
considered using other natural coloring, but
decided against it on the chance the color might
transfer to some fabrics. (I have a couple
nice dyed Wooly
Tumblers, and one that is
naturally-brownish colored, and have not had any
color transferring I'm aware of.)
...about SMELLS
We have decided to
keep Wooly
Tumblers as
natural as we can, so there are no scents added
to them. Personally, I use a naturally scented
laundry soap and my clothing retains that scent.
I'm happy with that. But, if you would
like to add a scent, you're perfectly welcome to
do so. Many customers use essential oils
to scent their Wooly
Tumblers with
reportedly good results.
We
are so excited to be able to offer this honest,
wholesome way to take advantage
of fiber from sheep who grazed on pastures in
Michigan, and whose fleece has also been worked
in a cottage
industries located in the
mitten. (Michigan,
USA)
