tumble or hang?
Normally I’m all for a tumble 
My condominium has regulations that disallow hanging clothes outdoors to dry. Ashame. I rarely, if ever, see laundry hanging outside in the USA. I saw laundry cheerfully decorating homes in Costa Rica
Clothes dried in an open breeze smell and feel so good. Good memories. I persist in using a method that doesn’t rely on generating electricity. I hang my clothes where they risk catching direct sunlight and breeze from a window. Even here in the infamously rainy NW USA it is easy to dry clothes without a tumble-dryer.
Hang them!

I love the feel of a freshly line dried towel. So scratchy.
I think it’s just the Pac NW that doesn’t dry their clothes outside (probably because it rains so much). Everyone I knew, growing up, dried their clothes outside.
I hate it, the feeling of line-dried towels and jeans is just awful. And my grandmother had a bad habit of washing my clothes behind my back (I hate others doing my laundry for me) and using clothespins hang them…making little peaks on the shoulders of my shirts.
Yeah - ’soft’ clothes is definitiely a priority over environment friendliness. You’re in America now girl, get with the ‘me first’ and ‘I’m worth it’ attitude. Sod any tokens to eco-friendliness, however trivial.
