static away from the clothing.)

…about the SAVINGS
Reduced
drying time was such an advantage to me.Not really because of the saved energy and/or dollars, but because of
something much more precious to me, my T I M E.Another
major savings is enjoyed as reduced wear and tear on clothing because of shorter
drying times.
Here’s the story
behind how I know they save drying time:
I had been
in the habit of tossing a load in the wash and the dryer at the same time.I almost always used the same settings, 6 minute warm wash, and right at
the beginning of “Very Dry” on my dryer’s automatic setting.I knew the dryer would be done about 30 minutes after the wash cycle. So,
if I heard the washer stop, I went down about 30 minutes afterward with another
load.
But, when I
used the Wooly Tumblers, the dryer buzzed its “finished” buzz
at the SAME TIME the washer finished!That’s 30 precious minutes!
Eowzer!
Of course I
did the math on the dryer sheet savings, and electric usage savings, but frankly
it was disappointing.
Chemicals
all over your clothes may do nothing, or may kill you in the end.Who knows?What I do know is Wooly Tumblers don’t have any hazard
warnings. They are anti-everything.
They're nice. They don’t leave fuzz or itchiness, or anything
else all over your clothing.And,
your towels won’t start repelling moisture!
…about the MASSAGES
To use Wooly Tumblers as
a do-it-yourself back, foot, or shoulder massager simply sit in a comfortable
chair or couch, put one to three Wooly Tumblers where you want
to massage, and move slightly now and then.For example, if you have sore lower back muscles, put the Wooly
Tumblers behind your back, and rest against the back of your couch.As you relax, your normal little movements will be enough to accomplish a
gentle, yet effective massage.I
think you’ll be surprised!You’ll
also be pleased to find the heat from your body is absorbed by the Wooly
Tumblers, enhancing their effect!
A second way
to use the Wooly Tumblers for a great message is to roll them
around the area using the palm of your hand.Again, as you roll, they warm up, and they feel great for the recipient,
and are also much less stressful on the hands of the massager!
…about
the MAGNETS
I’m rather proud
of this little addition, because I did the research myself!It came about because, although we had been enjoying the benefits of
Wooly Tumblers several months, my son had an objection.
Although
he thought they were great overall, he had too much static left in his polyester
work-out pants, and began air-drying them as a result.
I hit the
internet with my reporter hat on, searching for an answer.What was static?What
counteracts static?Do dryers all
have static?Hasn’t
someone
invented some gizmo to eliminate static?And so forth.
Finally,
after delving quite a way into some interesting scientific sites, I discovered
the whole attraction to magnetic poles thingy, and applied the information to
those pesky charges in tumbled clothing. I
tried two small craft magnets. Success!
...about the SIZE
Each Wooly Tumbler
begins with one ounce of unbleached, washed roving. However, being
actually formed by human hands, one may appear smaller than another. This
also accounts for slight irregularities in shapes and such. You may also
experience a little additional shrinking, as they will continue to felt tighter
as you use them. This does not affect their usefulness at all.
...about the COLOR
We have chosen
to use undyed, unbleached wool. If you're interested in colors, you can
dye the Wooly Tumblers in a pot of colorfast dye. We considered
using other natural coloring, but decided against it on the chance the color
might transfer to some fabrics. (I have a couple nice dyed Wooly
Tumblers, and one that is naturally-brownish colored, and have
not had any color transferring I'm aware of.)
...about SMELLS
We have decided
to keep Wooly Tumblers as natural as we can, so there are no
scents added to them. Personally, I use a naturally scented laundry soap and my
clothing retains that scent. I'm happy with that. But, if you would
like to add a scent, you're perfectly welcome to do so. Many customers use
essential oils to scent their Wooly Tumblers with reportedly
good results.
