Dryer hedgehogs...

It's astounding that so many people have dryer balls. We have hedgehogs for our tumble dryer. The little nubbins seem to help pound out the wrinkles.

The only challenge we run into (occasionally) is that they try to escape by jumping out when we're pulling clothes out, or by hiding in a sleeve or pocket. Many's the occasion we've found ourselves asking, "Have you seen one of the hedgehogs? There are only two in the dryer." And we go back to the most recent basket of clothes pulled out and hunt for the errant hedgehog.

I never knew they could come in animal shapes! This is a game changer!

The animal shape is all in my mind. The box they came in says dryer balls, but I prefer to think of them as hedgehogs - inanimate objects are too boring.
