Thanks to my wife who loves to knit, I have observed that my dryer has amassed a large quantity of balls.
"Dryer Balls", that is.
What's nice is they completely REPLACE the need for fabric softener for our laundry, which is lovely since a lot of outdoor clothing doesn't like the stuff anyway.
They are also pretty effective at breaking up the down in our sleeping bags. They have a density very similar to tennis balls, by the time they are ready to use.
While you can buy them, here's a link to how to make them: http://laundry.about.com/od/HomemadeLaundryProducts/a/How-To-Make-Homemade-Dryer-Balls.htm
(I guess this could also go under MYOG as well.)
Just passing it onto the PBL community I admire so much.
