Clothesline fabric drying
Line dry means to dry clothing or fabric by hanging it on a clothesline or drying rack rather than using a machine dryer.
Care labels often instruct line dry only for delicate items that might shrink or be damaged by heat.
As a noun, line-dry describes this method: I prefer line-dry for my sweaters.
