These sturdy penguins are felted in Nepal by workers paid a strong living wage. They soften laundry naturally, without chemicals or synthetics; they shorten drying time (use three balls for a small load or five balls for a large); and they last for thousands of loads, replacing sheets and liquid softeners and thus reducing waste.
