I have purchased some wool yarn after reading it can be made into balls and used in the dryer. What do I need to do to it to make it usable? Thank you.

Not sure how that works - I bought the wool dryer balls on Amazon, added some essential oils and use them all of the time now.

Make sure you have 100% wool and not the superwash kind otherwise it will not felt successfully. Wind it the regular way into round ball and place in an old leg of pantyhose or stocking. Put a knot between each ball. Wash in a hot wash a couple of times and then into the dryer leaving them in their stocking. After that the should be good and smooth. You can add essential oil if you wish but make sure not to use too much as it can transfer to clothing. I preferred not to do that.
