      Well, it kind of freeze-dries. Myrna and I got a lot of stiff, freeze-dried laundry off the line when we were kids.

      Yes, and we froze along with the laundry!

    In the years before I had a clothes dryer inside, I also froze my hands hanging the laundry outside. I tried all forms of gloves (mittens just didn't work!) but never found anything that wasn't extremely clumsy. I graduated to two large folding racks (inside) that I liked much better. But still, large pieces like the sheets got hung on the lines outside. If there was a breeze, they "dried" much better but I remember hauling the still-frozen sheets into the house and draping them over the backs of chairs to finish drying. What good times! (????)

    Ah yes......freeze dried laundry. I remember it well as a kid in Connecticut. I also remember my mom & sister stringing clothes lines in the kitchen & hanging clothes to dry....as it was probably the warmest place in the house.
