OK, after my comments yesterday I pulled the sheets off the line in the afternoon and they were bone dry… and they smell so good! I decided I didn’t want to have to tumble dry unless I really had no other choice. So, today was another low humidity day and slightly warmer so I did another load, and this time I grabbed some of those reusable gloves people sometimes wear to wash dishes (I use for cleaning out the gutters – and had a new pair available). These kept my fingers away from the water and cold, and I was able to line dry my jeans, sweatshirts and sweatpants. They are taking a little longer than the sheets – but they should be dry soon.
Yes, line drying in the winter is doable – just not as enjoyable as during the spring, summer and fall.
Yay! Can you fit those dish gloves over cotton gloves? The layering would keep your fingers toasty warm and dry to boot.
Chile – Actually I put the cotton gloves over the dish gloves – and yes, the layering did keep my fingers toasty. Thanks for your suggestions – they helped!
That’s what I love about the internet. We all get to learn from each other!
