I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE a Technique Tuesday once a week video. Doesn't have to be long. I'm a brand new felter and I'm loving your videos!!!! Thank you!!!!!
These are going to be great to make for gifts. Thanks Kyla. Well done!
I loved your teaching, had been looking for a long time for some hints on how to but found no free tutorials. Thanks for sharing. Now I will be able to start experimenting! 😂❤😊😅
Thanks Kyla, great tutorial!
This was a fun, cute tutorial! I would definitely love to see these alongside the longer ones! ❤️
Thanks for sharing! I have plenty of dryer balls, but I want to make a bunch of felted eggs.
Same. 💕
Love my dryer balls, they last forever.
I make smaller balls for my cat as well.
Thanks, Kyla, another great tutorial!
Great tip. Thanks. I can attest to wrinkly balls 😂
Yay Kyla! Awesome video! ❤
Thanks Kyla!
So each ball is 1oz? Is there a specific needle size we should use? I know nothing much about all this, wondering if DIY is cheaper than buying them. Thanks!
Each ball is about an ounce, yes. I used 38 gauge needles in a pen tool. If you have the tools and just get the 4 oz bundle of Off White Chunky Core you will get 4 for $9. It is definitely fun to customize them and I love to give hand made gifts :)
@@SarafinaFiberArtHowTo OK thanks for the reply. I balled up some old wool socks I wasn’t wearing anymore and wound them kind of tightly with wool/alpaca yarn, then put in the pantyhose. Will wash tomorrow and see how they go.
When do you remove them from the nylons-before or after drying?
I throw them into the dryer in the nylons the first time. After that first dryer cycle they are ready to take out and use!
@@SarafinaFiberArtHowTo got it. Thank you!
What do you use as a mat?
I used the Stabbit Wabbit (MEGA size) felting surface to make these.
Thank you Kyla
Short tutorials like this more often would be great!
I dont have a felt needle. Would you have another substitute i could use instead?
Hi! You are going to need felting needles to at least get this to stick, I don't know that you could just ball it up and try to wet felt it. The balls would be super squishy and uneven I would think.
This is really useful, thanks for sharing. 💕
Great tutorial Kyla! Thank you!
Do you use these balls for something special? Greetings from Germany✨💫😘 Melanie
You keep these in your dryer to help absorb moisture, separate laundry as it tosses about in the dryer, and you can even add essential oils for scent.
