Poohy's accessories are made from the same natural materials as our bedding — applied to every part of your routine. Wool dryer balls that protect your down duvets in the tumble dryer. Class 6A mulberry silk accessories — scrunchies that protect your hair, a sleep mask that protects the skin around your eyes and helps you sleep deeper. Each made to one standard: natural, specific, measurable.
Wool Dryer Balls — The Right Way to Dry Down Bedding
Tumble drying a down duvet without dryer balls compresses the fill into flat, damp clumps that take longer to dry and lose their loft. Poohy Baller wool dryer balls — a set of 6, handmade from 100% New Zealand wool, each 7 cm in diameter and 40 g — separate the fill clusters as the drum turns, pushing out trapped moisture and reintroducing air. The result: a fully restored, lofty duvet, with drying time cut by up to 25% and energy use reduced accordingly.
New Zealand wool has natural antimicrobial properties and runs completely silently in the drum — unlike plastic or rubber alternatives. Each set handles up to 1,000 drying cycles, making it a long-term care tool rather than a disposable product. Add a few drops of essential oil before a cycle for a subtle, natural scent.
Silk Hair Scrunchies and Sleep Mask — 100% Mulberry Silk, Class 6A
The silk used in Poohy's silk accessories is the same material as our pillowcases: 100% mulberry silk, Class 6A, woven at 22 momme. Class 6A is the highest commercially available grade — long, uniform fibres with no defects. At 22 momme the weave is 15% denser than standard 19 momme, giving each piece more durability while remaining smooth against skin and hair. All items carry Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, confirming the absence of harmful chemicals, allergens, and toxins.
Silk hair scrunchies — two sizes, one material
The XS silk scrunchie (1 cm wide, seamless) is designed for fine or delicate hair — it holds without tension, and the seamless construction eliminates the ridges that cause breakage. The M silk scrunchie (3 cm wide) suits thicker or longer hair and creates fuller, more voluminous styles. Both sizes share the same zero-friction surface: hair glides rather than catches, preserving natural moisture and reducing split ends over time.
Silk sleep mask — light out, skin protected
Unlike cotton or synthetic alternatives, the silk sleep mask does not absorb moisture from the skin — it helps retain it, which benefits the delicate area around the eyes. It blocks light completely, stimulating natural melatonin production and supporting deeper, more restorative sleep. The thermoregulating properties of mulberry silk are especially relevant in Cyprus's warm climate: the mask adapts to body temperature and stays cool against the skin rather than trapping heat.
Which Poohy Accessory Is Right for You?
If you own a down or natural-fill duvet or pillow, the wool dryer balls are the correct maintenance tool — drying without them risks permanently compressing the fill. If you want to actively protect your hair from daily breakage, choose the silk scrunchie in the right size: XS for fine hair, M for thicker or longer hair. If you want to improve sleep quality and protect the skin around your eyes, the silk sleep mask is the most direct upgrade. In Cyprus, where mornings are bright and nights can be warm, the sleep mask and silk scrunchies are particularly well suited to daily use.
FAQ
Can I use wool dryer balls with silk or linen bedding?
Yes. The soft wool surface will not damage delicate fabrics. Wool dryer balls are most effective with heavier natural-fill items — down duvets, down pillows, and down jackets — but are safe for all fabrics, including silk and linen.
What is the difference between the XS and M silk scrunchie?
The XS is 1 cm wide and designed for fine, delicate, or thinner hair. The M is 3 cm wide and suits thicker, longer, or denser hair. Both are made from the same Class 6A, 22 momme mulberry silk with seamless, zero-friction construction.
What are the benefits of a silk sleep mask compared to cotton?
Cotton absorbs moisture from the skin, which can dry out the delicate area around the eyes. A mulberry silk sleep mask does not — it helps retain the skin's natural hydration. Silk is also naturally hypoallergenic and thermoregulating, staying cool against the skin throughout the night. This makes it especially comfortable in Cyprus's warm climate.
How many wool dryer balls should I use per cycle?
For a standard laundry load, use 3 balls. For heavier items such as a down duvet, use all 6. More balls means better separation of the fill, faster drying, and more even restoration of volume.
