[LPT] If you’re laundering a thick comforter and want it to dry quickly, add a 100% wool throw with it in the dryer
Real sheep’s wool is a moisture wick. Your comforter will dry in one cycle. Your wool throw will still be damp, but read wool doesn’t mildew like down or synthetics do.
Yes. Mainly by getting between sheets and creating room for air to circulate. If you get wool ones, they do help wick a little moisture, but bigger benefit is that they helps soften natural fibers and don’t make as much noise as rubber dryer balls. Bonus, they last forever and you don’t have to use chemical fabric sheets or softener. Definitely a good investment.
It's not magically faster drying, because we only have six, but basically all the things the other person said about better for the environment and cheaper.
