Allow me to introduce you to today’s giveaway. Introducing Loohoo Wool Dryer Balls.
From the Loohoo website, “Loohoos are a reusable, energy-saving alternative to dryer sheets. We proudly offer high-quality wool dryer balls that are made in Maine using domestic wool. Together we can help protect our family’s health and the environment.”
They are giving one lucky winner a wonderful set of Loohoo wool dryer balls.
When I got the opportunity to review today’s giveaway, I decided to do it because even though I know how to make my own dryer balls, not everyone does and those who do know how to make them might not have the time and they really work. In the past 4 years that I have used my own dryer balls, I have saved a ton of money on my electric bill. Why? Because not only do they dry your clothing faster but you can forget the need for fabric softener as the wool balls beat the clothes soft in the dryer and get rid of static cling. My dryer has a sensor that shuts it off when it senses that the clothing is dry. Without dryer balls my loads usually take about 45 minutes to finish, with the dryer balls it cuts it down to 30 minutes. The four loads I did with the Loohoo wool dryer balls went down by 5 minutes or more each time. That makes me happy.
Aside from the money savings, have any of you ever inquired as to what is in fabric softener? Horrors! Dryer sheets are just as toxic, they make a film on your clothing and your lint trap and they can cause a fire from the film that accumulates. Poppa loves fabric softener so I used to spend a fortune at Whole Foods on their softener and wool dryer balls replaced that need for us.
Funny, that she sent me yellow because I happen to be one of my favorite colors! I love the muslin bag they come in and I want to show you what I noticed when I first opened the package!
Do you notice how much bigger they are than mine? Huge! And not only that but my homemade ones are wrapped and felted, the Loohoos are wet felted and I didn’t expect it but my clothing is softer when it comes out and drying even faster. I guess bigger surface area works better. Now to be truthful, I don’t use my dryer all that much sometimes but there is one sure thing about Florida in the summer, as soon as you put one thing on the line, a torrential downpour will come out of no where. Summer and winter I end up drying my clothing in the dryer a lot.
So in the end, I thought I was helping you all out by sharing a great product and ended up being a customer myself!
Now, with all these giveaways going on I want to put this out there. I have been very careful about choosing companies that only reflect the values and goals that I have chosen for my own family. If it is not inline with living a natural life then you won’t find it here. Sometimes, I am sent a product to try and give my opinion, sometimes I already use the product so I tell the company not to send me anything and just do the giveaway. I have received a couple of products which I have not shared with you because after using them I chose not to. Please be sure that I will only share products with you that I use would or do use with my own family.
To enter just leave a comment. For more chances to win share this on Facebook, Tweet it, share it on your own blog and then come back and tell me how you shared it, you get an entry for each one that you do. Good luck and the giveaway ends next Friday. The lucky winner will be announced right here in this post next Friday morning. I have posted the winner to last Friday’s Knitting book giveaway at last Friday’s post.
Edit: Thank you to all who entered!! I hope you will all make a purchase if you didn’t win. They post weekly specials here
The winner is:
Jacki said: These look like something right up our alley. My son has extremely sensitive skin so we currently use nothing. We can’t use anything at the market because his eczema will take a bad turn. Can’t wait to try these!
Jacki, Please get in touch with me at farmishmomma@gmail.com and we will get your prize out to you!!
Wowza! Thanks so much! Sent you an email 🙂 I'm so jazzed
I'd love to try these dryer balls. I mostly line dry, but like you I live in Florida, 'nuff said. Both my son and my husband are allergic to fabric softener so we usually just deal with the static.
I keep considering these things. Hopefully I'll win a set and be a convert away from my dryer sheets 🙂
Wow, I did not notice how much bigger the Loo Hoo dryer balls actually are in comparison! With winter quickly approaching, I will be using my dryer more often and would love to give these a try!

We love our wool dryer balls. We've only used dryer balls now for 3+ years! Not only are we starting to need new ones, but all of our family and friends are starting to ask for them for Christmas!
I have always wanted to try dryer balls and I have heard great things about LooHoo. Thank you so much for this giveaway!
OOo I would love to try these!!

I would love some dryer balls! I have only heard good things!
These are awesome, love that they're made right here in Maine!
I've made some DIY wool dryer balls, I would love to see the differences between Loohoo wool dryer balls and the DIY ones I made!!
Me! I’ve switched to line dry with a vinegar rinse in our cold Chicago winters but sadly summers have to be drier dried 🙁 it’s just too humid.
I have always wanted to try these!
Loohoo! Where are you? Awesome find and I could use the heat sensory in our new dryer.
These look great! Even if I don't win, I know what my next online purchase will be!
Thanks for giving me the chance to win this! It looks very useful and I have no idea how to make them, and I would use them for my family. God bless you and your family!
Oooh, I would love to try these!
Thank you for sharing. I'd love to try these 🙂
Wow, I was just kicking myself earlier in the week for not having made any of these yet, and "here's my chance to win some"! They look lovely!
These look like something right up our alley. My son has extremely sensitive skin so we currently use nothing. We can't use anything at the market because his eczema will take a bad turn. Can't wait to try these!
Very neat
These dryer balls sound great!
I love reading about your faith and family – thank you for sharing. As a teacher, I am always looking for ways to save money any way I can while still staying as natural as possible. These would be a great addition 🙂
I'm so glad you wrote about this today; I was just thinking as I finished up a load of laundry last night that I really need to find a natural fabric softener/dryer sheet option. I haven't used either in 5+ years because I don't like the waste associated. I've just dealt with static cling on occasion!
Thanks for the review; I'll wait for the give-a-way and then perhaps make a purchase!
I would love to give them a try! I should really take the time to make my own, but I just never seem to get around to it 🙁
Thank you for the fabulous reviews & giveaways.
I would love to have a set!! thanks
These sound amazing! I have recently been delving into what carcinogenic bits are in my everyday use, eating, clothes, self care, etc. I am a cancer survivor at 22 and do not wish to increase my future risk! Thank you so much for these dryer, clothes, and body friendly options!
These look really neat. It's the first I heard of wool dryer balls. Now I want some. I use my dryer nearly all winter, unfortunately, here in Cincinnati. I hate buying dryer sheets because they seem like such a waste of money. I'd love to try these, especially to soften all the clothes I'm about to wash for my new baby twins who are joining us soon!
Ooh, these sound good. I don't use my dryer much in the summer but winter is coming and soon I will be needing to use my dryer again. Thanks for the giveaway.
These are so neat!I would Love to win them- great giveaway!!
I would love to try these out. Can I win if I'm in Canada?? I've tried some other dryer balls but didn't see any fantastic results. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have always wanted to try these! Thanks so much for sharing this giveaway and this company with us!
I want a loohoo. It’s fun to say. Cutting down our electric would be so awesome. Especially if the new additions work out.
I would love to get rid of our dryer sheets, thank you for the chance to win!
I have never even heard of dryer balls but after reading your article on them it sounds like something that I would definitely like to try. My son has asthma and I try to stay as chemical free as I can but laundry has always been a tough one for me.
I would like to know where I can find these dryer balls.
Laura, on the words Loohoo which is a different color in the blog post, it will take you to the website 🙂 I know you will love these.
It would be neat to compare them to the ones I have, that look like yours and are smaller.
Also shared it on my facebook! 🙂
These look great! I have always wanted to try them!
Yes please!
These look wonderful! And I am the type that could not possibly make them, so winning them would be great!
Thank you!
I've been wanting some of these for ages.
Those are awesome!
As a family of 7, we would be so grateful to win these as an addition to our laundry regimen.
Thanks for the opportunity!
