Note: Solid Grey 7-29-2018, Paula runs a test: Today since I had to wash a bunch of towels, I decided to test our Alpaca Dryer balls. We've been using the same 3 alpaca dryer balls for about 6 years and I love them. But I decided to find out for myself how much energy they were actually saving me.
Here is how I tested them, controlling any variables as best as possible, and my results...
Using our Samsung LG sensor dryer.
I washed 5 towels 3 hand towels and 3 wash cloths - exact same towels in each load.
Both loads were washed on hot with the spin cycle between medium and extra high.
Both loads were dried with dry flow sense - very dry setting on medium temperature.
Before each load was dried I ran a different load in the dryer and cleaned the dryer lint trap. So the temperature would be the same starting temp.
I used the same amount of laundry detergent in both loads and did not use laundry softener in either load
The first load with NO dryer balls took 58 minutes
The second load with 3 dryer balls took 42.5 minutes.
That's 15.5 minutes less drying time in the load using 3 alpaca dryer balls. So it DOES WORK in not only fluffing and softening loads naturally, it does both in less time. That's less $electric costs year round.

We use multiple suppliers for our dryer balls and barely keep up with demand with this very popular product! *We've had a heck of a time keeping up with demand for Dryer Balls, go figure! But they are very popular! This group is imported from AUSTRALIAN alpaca fiber. Solid grey color. |

About Purely Alpaca
## Purely Alpaca
Some of the best businesses begin with curiosity—and **Purely Alpaca** is no exception.
The company was founded after Brian and Paula Schieber discovered alpacas in a magazine while traveling. Fascinated by these remarkable animals, they spent years learning about alpacas before establishing their own award-winning alpaca farm in the Pacific Northwest. What began as a small farm store for visitors soon grew into **PurelyAlpaca.com**, a family-owned business that has been sharing the beauty and benefits of alpaca fiber since 2002.
Today, Purely Alpaca offers one of the largest collections of alpaca clothing, accessories, home goods, and gifts, carefully sourced from artisans and makers in the United States and South America. From cozy socks and elegant scarves to luxurious blankets and handcrafted gifts, every product celebrates one of nature's most remarkable fibers.
### Why Alpaca?
Alpaca fiber has been treasured for centuries—and for good reason. It is naturally soft, lightweight, and exceptionally warm while remaining breathable. Unlike many traditional wools, alpaca contains little to no lanolin, making it naturally hypoallergenic for many people who find sheep's wool irritating. It is also durable, moisture-wicking, and naturally odor-resistant, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear as well as outdoor adventures.
### A Commitment to Small Businesses and Sustainability
As a family-owned company, Purely Alpaca believes in supporting other small businesses throughout the alpaca industry. They work closely with farmers, artisans, and manufacturers across the United States, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Canada, helping promote fair trade practices, responsible sourcing, and sustainable livelihoods. Their supply chain emphasizes traceability and ethical partnerships while supporting the long-term well-being of both alpacas and the communities that care for them.
Purely Alpaca also recognizes the environmental advantages of alpaca fiber. Alpacas have soft-padded feet that are gentle on grasslands, and they graze in ways that are less damaging to ecosystems than many other livestock. Choosing natural, long-lasting fibers like alpaca can help reduce reliance on synthetic materials and encourage a wardrobe built to last.
At Clozist, we're proud to welcome Purely Alpaca to our community of brands that value craftsmanship, natural materials, and conscious living. Their products reflect a simple philosophy: when quality, sustainability, and timeless design come together, the result is something you'll treasure for years to come.
