It was the only kind I wore for the first 15 years of my life. Every house had a clothesline in the back yard. I remember my mom sometimes rushing to get the clothes inside as a thunderstorm approached. Then have to go hang them out again.
Not only that she handmade my shirts until about the 3rd grade. I'm sure I looked pretty goofy.

@tobynshorty Thank you for best answer.

I tried to use a clothesline, but it turns out it's a mistake to do that in the Seattle area.
Then I tried doing some sort of drying gizmo in the laundry room. My clothes were dry, but as rough as sand paper, especially the towels.
So, as environmentally friendly as I would like to be, I opted for towels that feel more like towels, and less like sandpaper.

They still are in our family. But I'm not sure what you mean. 😅 Sun dried clothes and bed sheets are as hard as a stone slab. The delicates always go to the shade for this reason.

Maybe you get different sun rays, all of our clothes were soft and almost wrinkle free. Then maybe it's the material you use if you're still do it these days, back then everything was pure cotton, no blending or mixture of fabrics synthetic or otherwise.

@Charity It's problem mostly with towels but also cotton bed sheets and T-shirts. Synthetic materials like lycra or viscose never get hard. Wrinkle free yes but not soft, at least not immediately, more like stiff.
Also, synthetic elastic materials shouldn't be exposed to strong direct sunlight because they might lose elasticity.

@CrazyMusicLover The days that I was speaking of there was no blending of fabrics everything was 100% pure cotton.
All of our towels were soft, our sheets was soft, our clothes were soft that we hung on the line, except for those that we put starch and fabric softener hadn't been invented.
Maybe it's the process used to make fabrics these days, the process has significantly changed with the technology of today.

@TangledUpInBlue I live in an apartment and hang laundry on clothes lines on our balcony. If the weather is bad, I use an indoor drying rack.
Maturebate · 70-79, M
And it was solar powered....but you have to spend 10 minutes and a little muscle energy to hang the clothes and it's problematic if the weather is not suitable.

Hmm, I always remember clothes line clothes being stiff at first, but they sure smelled nice.

If I was to rely on the sun to dry my clothes, I'd have no clean clothes for 9 months of the year 😂

@Charity then you never met a parent of a damaged child.

Okay, stick with your usage of your psychology.
And I have been around parents who have had injured children / who have lost their children. The victim is the one who was physically injured. Can you are trying to put mental injury into the equation of the parent.
If things like that happen these days, there would be an investigation of the parent or parents.
We've had a conversation, you have your views, I have mine have a nice day.
