How do you dry knitwear in this weather ?

[LIZS]

Have washed some jumpers which can't go in the dryer , too chilly and damp to put on rack outside so have put them on warm radiator on a towel . Will they shrink ?

Our spare bed is currently strewn with drying knitwear...am sure this is not good for the duvet ...

i usually lay flat on a towel - hanging over radiator might put it out of shape

Do you not have a maiden? I have one that you can lie jumpers on flat.

Bettaware sell a contraption for drying knitwear.
Wonder if they sell online???

musiclover me too

**For anyone outside of the North West, 'maiden' is a clothes horse/airer

I got lots of funny looks talking about them when I first moved out of the NW

But dont they get lines and folds in them from the clothes horse?

I always put mine straight on the radiator, and they have never shrunk.

I put a towel on the bed in teh spare room and lay jumpers on that

Nope, mine don't. I suppose you can put them on a towel or whatever if you were worried about the kinks (but no polys ) in garments

I use something similar to this only mine can be hung up so I tend to hang it in the shower cubicle or above the radiator in the bathroom.

Now we have a utility room I'm considering one of those Sheila Maids for other laundry and could hang the jumper thing from there.

Never even thought about different names for them. So you guessed I am from the N/W then

LIZS, BettySpaghetti's looks like the best one to me, no lines on your tops either!

It is good.

The one I have is "pop-up" style so can be stored easily too. I've got a feeling it was from good old Woolies a few years ago!
