Can wool dryer balls prevent clothes from shrinking?
According to many internet hacks, if you use a wool dryer ball in your dryer, your clothes will dry instantly and it can reduce shrinking, but it seems that they are inefficient.
“The motion of tumbling the clothes is what twists the fibers tighter and causes shrinkage. Using low heat may help reduce shrinking, but as soon as that garment starts twisting and turning in the tumbling machine, it is destined to come out fitting differently, and no special dryer ball will change that,” said Andrea Seemayer, a garment expert and the founder of A.Lynn Designs.
