100% Wool Dryer Balls

If you don't like dryer sheets ... here is an alternative!

Deb MacLeod of Millage & Lloyd General Store, 
St. Peters PEI Canada (now closed)
has passed this enterprise onto me.  
She made the Dryer Balls, sold them from her store 
and other stores and her website.  
Made from felted wool and wool yarn, 
they are an effective alternative to using dryer sheets.  
See Deb's directions below.

Deb has been using the Dryer Balls for 
two years and finds them still quite good, 
though they do have some pilling.  
My sister has tested them for me, as I don't use a dryer.  
Drying time was shorter, and she found only 
minimal static on an acrylic sweater.  
To test for lint, she put her black spandex pants 
into the dryer along with some towels; 
the pants came out lint free.

The balls average about tennis ball size - 
some a bit larger, some smaller.  
Colours are all natural wool colour (not dyed) 
from natural white to shades of grey and brown/black.

One box of balls is 25.00.

"The Butcher Block"

 … so named by hospital staff.

An aid designed for a paraplegic, 

to support a leg that is in a cast, 

so that he/she can continue to use his/her own wheelchair, 

while the leg heals from a break.

The block sits on the footrest, kept in place with velcro.

The block can be easily removed from the footrest 

and then put back in place when needed,

thus allowing for transfer to vehicle, toilet, or bed.

For more photos and measurements of the block 

see the Adaptive Aids & Clothing page.

Lobster design and stencil work 

by Ian Paul MacAdam

 Lobster pillows are 18" x 18"

and have zippers.
The fabric is a sturdy medium weight 
washable poly-cotton.

 Some have plain piping,

Some have plain piping,

 and some have coloured piping,

 A red lobster ready to eat.

 Sometimes a blue lobster is seen in nature…

… in different shades.

 Often a brown lobster is seen in the water.

  A green lobster stencilled on burlap….

 … or an orange lobster, 

with a fringed finish.

 Bright orange with green...

 And what has this one been taking?

Protective Ankle Support

Protective Ankle Boot 

With Wedge 

Designed to take pressure off a sore on the ankle, 

to allow it to heal.

Made from layers of 3/4" foam, 

a sturdy knit fabric, velcro tapes.

A hole and graduated area around the hole 

allows the ankle to rest in place 

without any pressure on it or the surrounding area.  

 The outside view, with the velcro straps.

 View from the knee end.  

The heel fits into the left side of the sunken area.

The velcro straps are held back in place - 

each has a tab of velcro to keep it held down, while one fits the boot.

 The heel is placed in the depression - 

as seen in the first photo.

 The boot closed - 

the velcro allows adjustment for snugness 

around each area of the leg and ankle.

 The ankle bone seen through the opening - 

allowing fingers to monitor 

contact with the boot surface.

 A wedge made from foam, with a velcro strip added…

...to place alongside the boot.  

The position of the wedge is adjustable

 as the velcro goes right around the boot.

 The wedge stops the leg from rotating outward 

 thus keeping pressure off the ankle area.

 A little piece of PEI for Islanders at home or at home away from home.

Authentic burlap PEI potato bags appliquéd on 

jute, denim, linen look, and other fabrics.

Deb uses feather inserts.

 Sizes are 18" x 18" and 16" x 24" 

A choice of colour backgrounds and contrasting or hidden zips.

 These logos are printed by the PEI Potato board for use on burlap tote bags.

The logo is smaller, bright and colourful, 

and without the authentic smell and texture 

of the original potato bag.
