The story of The Lint Trap Gang

The Lint Trap Gang were five fuzzy puppets made from dryer lint who lived behind the round window of Dryer Number Six. Every episode, a lonely sock arrived and the Gang tried to reunite it with its partner. It explained the mystery of missing socks better than any parent ever did, and kids checked dryers for weeks.

Fun fact

The leader, Fuzzbert, was built from real lint collected from the puppeteer's family dryer.
