Hang it out
In issue 27 we asked you to turn off your tumble-dryer. It might seem like a lot to ask but the advantages are clear. An electric tumble-dryer is one of the largest energy consuming devices in the home, accounting for a massive 4.3% of the UK's entire domestic energy consumption. We're hoping that by acting together Selvedge readers can make a real difference so please let us know if you've decided to abandon your tumble-dryer in favour of Mother Nature...

I don’t own and am proud to say have never owned a tumble dryer. I use a washing line hung near herbs & an old fashioned pulley and clothes horses when its wet to dry indoors. Having an AGA is a mega advantage I must admit but even without one I would not use a tumble dryer. I agree with Fibrefreak above – drying is a process that occurs naturally so why get a machine to do it? Hang it out!
