I don't know about you, but I find dryer sheets very annoying - they always seem to be stuck inside clean laundry, or I'll find one stuck to the back of my shirt halfway thru my workday. I also was looking for something more environmentally friendly. Someone recently told me I should try wool dryer balls. They are supposed to help with static cling and softening your clothes in the dryer. You can buy them from someone who sells handmade goods (etsy is one of my favorites), but they weren't hard to make; I just found searched and found this website. Mine aren't as pretty, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results. We live in Colorado, and the dry air here is a great place to test these out. So far so good, I think to help a little I'm going to start using vinegar in the wash (you use it in place of fabric softener).
These are the materials I used:
