Why Alpaca Dryer Balls?

Because at Little Valley Farm, we believe everyday moments deserve a little luxury. Our dryer balls are handmade from the fleece of our own alpacas. Gentle on your clothes, kind to the planet, and full of slow-living soul.

They reduce static, soften fabrics, and cut drying time and all without chemicals. It’s sustainable sophistication with every tumble.

What to expect

We’ll be working with hot and cold water, soap, and a lot of rolling. So get ready to give your hands a bit of a workout. You’ll start by carding then shaping the fleece into a tight ball, wetting it with soapy hot water, then rolling, squeezing, and manipulating it until it begins to felt. It’s repetitive, a little meditative, and oddly addictive. Feel free to bring your own gloves if you like, but we’ll have spares here too.

On the Day
