Natural Laundry - Static Solution?

I recently switched to wool dryer balls from dryer sheets and am experiencing lots of static now with my loads. I've heard vinegar in the wash may help but am curious if anyone has any suggestions.

    Make sure you're not over drying your clothes, that's often what causes static.

    Thanks. I'll pay closer attention to that - My dryer has an auto shut-off when it senses that the clothes are dry, so I tend to set it and forget it. Next time, I'll try setting a shorter cycle and see how that helps.

    Take a safety pin (or two), and pin them to a piece of clothing before drying. I'm not sure why it works, but I read it somewhere and tried it, and it totally helps :)

    Yep.  Definitely try vinegar as well as not over-drying them.  Hopefully that does the trick for you.
