Real sheep’s wool is a moisture wick. Your comforter will dry in one cycle. Your wool throw will still be damp, but read wool doesn’t mildew like down or synthetics do.

We bought some wool dryer balls to replace dryer sheets. Re-usablity is great

Ooh, I’ve never heard of those. Does your laundry dry faster with them?

[–] SrirachaPickles 8 points 1 year ago

Yes. Mainly by getting between sheets and creating room for air to circulate. If you get wool ones, they do help wick a little moisture, but bigger benefit is that they helps soften natural fibers and don’t make as much noise as rubber dryer balls. Bonus, they last forever and you don’t have to use chemical fabric sheets or softener. Definitely a good investment.

It's not magically faster drying, because we only have six, but basically all the things the other person said about better for the environment and cheaper.

I hope LPT here stays like this and isn't inundated with social skill tips like on r*ddit

Leave your wool throw out to dry on its own. This tip should help with energy conservation, lowering dryer cycles.
