hang drying

Laundry without machines

Hang drying is drying clothes or other items by suspending them from a line, rack, or hanger rather than using a machine dryer.

The method is gentler on fabrics and uses no electricity: I hang dry all my sweaters to keep them from shrinking.

Also appears as the verb phrase hang dry or hyphenated hang-dry.
