line-dried
Hung outside wet
Line-dried describes something, typically laundry, that has been dried by hanging it on a clothesline or similar support rather than using a machine dryer.
The term evokes a traditional method of drying clothes outdoors, where sun and wind do the work.
Line-dried fabrics often have a distinctive fresh smell and slightly stiffer texture compared to machine-dried items.
I prefer line-dried sheets in the summer.
The towels came out a bit stiff because they were line-dried.
