line drying
Laundry without electricity
Line drying is drying laundry by hanging it on a clothesline or drying rack rather than using a machine dryer.
The method uses air and sunlight, saves energy, and is gentler on fabrics: Line drying keeps clothes from shrinking.
Some find it meditative; others find it tedious.
