    Joy, I have a dryer that I use mostly for fluffing things. But I do use it to preshrink anything I make that will be laundered, as most people I give it to will dryer dry in the future. As a matter of fact, I have 2 lines outside and 3 short lines in my basement that I use when our woodstove it on. I like the savings on our electric bill but I like the smell of line dried cloths even more.
    When my granddaughter who is 16 now was one, I took her camping. I washed her diapers in a big tub, then poured boiling water over them to rinse. We have very cute pictures of her and I hanging them up on a line strung between two large pine trees. It was a lovely summer. But some people thought I was wacky!
    Lines rock!
