When do you give up line drying for the year?

How do you decide when to give up line drying for the year? I managed to dry about 90% of this weeks laundry but had to put the rest in the dryer to finish off. I had been hoping for a bit of sun but it never really came out. Looks even worse over the next few weeks so should probably give up but we have a small house and no space to dry stuff indoors without tripping over it. I would put everything in the dryer over winter but have quite a bit of stuff that says not to and obviously woollens etc.

I've managed to get two full loads dry on the line today. Don't give up on line drying just yet!

I never put mine out, no tumble dryer either.
Just shut my clothes airers away in a small bedroom with a dehumidifier and it dries within hours (plus I use the water for my houseplants).

4 loads dry between Friday and Saturday evening here! Shitting down now though, so nothing has gone out today.

Full load dried outside today, up here in the North of England!
All just needed folding & airing in the house before putting away, except the waistband on a pair of jeans which went on the radiator.

Hoping for a load of woolly jumpers & cardia tomorrow 🤞
