What I don't understand is how that is different from line-drying them. doesn't fiber come off then too?Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-30103754366332554792009-04-16T10:31:00.000-04:002009-04-16T10:31:00.000-04:00And your clothes will lst a lot long too.And your clothes will lst a lot long too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-36767186410868112012009-04-15T18:27:00.000-04:002009-04-15T18:27:00.000-04:00brings back memoriesbrings back memoriesKimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165355622368635629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-51036170531217877842009-04-15T14:28:00.000-04:002009-04-15T14:28:00.000-04:00Like you, I've injured myself hauling a heavy load...Like you, I've injured myself hauling a heavy load to the line...I pulled my back so bad! <br /><br />I do have a clothes line here in town, but only sheets and delicates go on it on a pretty day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-43476174207305642792009-04-15T13:40:00.000-04:002009-04-15T13:40:00.000-04:00How far we've come!

It is like many of the old ways we are re-discovering: baking our own bread, or heating with wood, or quilting. Now we can choose to do these things, rather than having to do them from necessity. And in the process, we are finding a richness in the tasks that perhaps our mothers and grandmothers knew--or perhaps they only saw the work as drudgery and missed what we are discovering?Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-58210317079918050282009-04-15T13:27:00.000-04:002009-04-15T13:27:00.000-04:00I like to line dry in the summer, too.

I use wooden dryers indoors in the winter as well as the summer. I couldn't however part with my dryer. I put ALL the clohes in the dryer for a5 minutes just to get them a little soft, then hang them and wait for Mother Nature to do the rest!<br /><br />P.S.

Usually I can only manage one load dried outdoors at that time of year because the days are short so I have to use the tumble dryer more then.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
