Great balls of fibre

Sadly, these lovely-looking wool dryer balls from Five Two by Food52 can’t be shipped to Australia, but if you happen to reside in the US of A (or you plan to travel there some time soon), maybe pop over to food52.com and have a looksee. After all, the hypoallergenic balls – made from 100 per cent New Zealand wool and simply thrown in with the washing – promise to give you fluffier towels, softer sheets and less wrinkly shirts, while also cutting down on drying time by 25 per cent. Which makes them rather handy and somewhat eco-friendly, too. High five for that.
