Cyndi Prince + Loohoo Dryer Balls

Meet Cyndi Prince from Camden, the creative force behind LooHoo Wool Dryer Balls (@loohoowooldryerballs). Cyndi’s journey began 15 years ago, during a quest to cleanse her household of toxic products while expecting her son. Surprised by the harsh chemicals in dryer sheets, she set her sights on a safer, eco-friendly alternative. But when the first wool dryer ball she bought fell apart, Cyndi, ever the craft enthusiast, decided to make her own. Fast forward, and LooHoo is now a thriving home-based business, brightening laundry days nationwide with a shipment of 400-600 balls every week.

It’s not just about the dryer balls for Cyndi; it’s about building a community and promoting sustainability. Partnering with Bartlett Yarns (@bartlettyarns) in Harmony, Maine, from the start, LooHoo supports local industries while helping families across the country make a greener choice. You can find her handiwork locally at Jessie Tobias Design in Camden (@jessietobiasdesign), The Grasshopper Shop in Rockland(@grasshoppershop), and the Green Store in Belfast (@thegreenstore.belfastme). Plus, with a team that feels more like family, including a part-time shipper, a writer, and a social media guru, LooHoo is a testament to the power of small businesses in our community.

And if you need any more reasons to love Cyndi and her LooHoos, just check out the buzz they’ve been getting! Featured on Buzzfeed, VistaPrint, and even HGTV in February alone, it’s clear LooHoo is making waves well beyond Camden’s shores. Cyndi’s story is one of innovation, sustainability, and the joy of crafting a business that cares for the planet as much as it does for our clothes.
