dumb question

Ok, so I've been drying my workhorses on the dryer with my other prefolds. Should I be line drying to save the elastic? This thought just dawned on me.

    I dry mine in the dryer for 10 min. or so and finish on the line for that reason. I don't think dryer drying is the worse thing you could do, but if you're wanting to keep them in the best shape possible, it's probably a good idea to not fully dry them in the dryer every time.

    That's what I was thinking. More reason for DH to get on configuring a clothesline on the back deck ;)

    You could also do a lower heat setting and hang dry them to finish them off.

    The same goes for drying outside. If it's really sunny and hot, it has the same effect.

    Good to know, I'll just throw them on the indoor drying rack. Anybody know about how long they take to dry?

    I have larges right now.  If I do 10 minutes in the dryer first, they usually take around 8 hours line drying in my basement with no fan or anything blowing on them.
