These balls are solid, clean, carded, felted wool and are approximately 3-4 inches in diameter. They are wonderful cat and dog toys, excellent play balls and are lovely just sitting in a basket.



This listing is for a single ball, although I have different colors and many balls



Please let me know before purchase what color you want and if you want one of the embellished ones. I will need to check my inventory. Right now I am strong in Lime, Turkey Red, Cocoa, Green and Yellow, a few Blues and Purple.

General information...Wooly Balls



I have been making and selling felted wool balls for over 10 years and coining the name "Wooly Balls" for them has produced a great deal of fun at art fairs. 99 % of the people who pass my booth giggle and then stop to touch. Wool is so tactile and the balls are very enticing. The best comment came recently from a man who remarked to his friend "poor little Woolies." When people cock their heads and ask what they are I innocently reply "They're balls." This usually elicits a smile and a conversation.





I have sold them to dog and cat owners who have come back year after year for more. My felt balls are more durable than a tennis ball and they are machine washable. I have sold them to jugglers, as stress balls, as exercise balls, as just throwing around balls. One customer bought 12 of them to take to a corporate meeting he was presiding over. He was going to hand them out to everyone. I had a woman buy one to use to roll up and down between her back and the wall for a strength exercise. I had one customer spend three years picking out different colored balls to put in a large basket. They make excellent pincushions as well and I use them myself.



The balls are initially dry felted by needle then wet-felted in the washing machine. I put them through a rigorous agitation and wash at least three times.
