New dryer balls anyone?

Someone was trying to be helpful. Someone did the laundry. Someone threw in a basket that they thought was laundry. Someone made dryer balls with four balls of yarn. Three were just palette, but one.... one was a very beloved ball. A thirty dollar ball, that had dreams of becoming a really awesome shawl. Be still my heart. It could be worse. It could be the hand knit alpaca sweater that was also in that laundry basket, and is now hand puppet size. Ouch. I would share pictures, but it was one of those raw times where picture taking was beyond me. A child covered in stool, and coloring on the wall with a Sharpie? Photo opp. This though? No one wants to see this kind of destruction. No one.
