jamespowers said:No way! I can remember clothesline dried towels growing up. If I want sandpaper I will go to the hardware store and buy it.
My mother always manged to screw up my expensive Guess T shirts back then too. Red on the front and pink on the back? Uh, no thanks.
This is, of course, leaving out how birds, dust in the air and dogs that love to eat clothes might affect your wardrobe. It has all happened to me.

Towels like that are a form of penance. You'll get to heaven faster with them.magneto said:I guess I am also a member of the "childhood clothesline club". I must be weird because I *hate* towels dried in the dryer! They feel mushy and non-absorbent! Now with a nice naturally dried towel, you can dry off *and* exfoliate at the same time!

Rosie said:I must ask, what are you guys doing to these towels to get this "sandpaper" like consistencey? lol I don't think I've ever experienced that. You know, there's a new invention out called, fabric softner, give it a try sometimes guys.

jamespowers said:Fabric softener is a relatively new thing on the market. Back then there was no such thing and most people didn't take to it because they were afraid of what it did to clothes. [huh]
I know that if you put a clothesline full of towels out in the California sun to dry, in say August, they will dry in about twenty minutes or less and you will be able to take them off the line stiff as an ironing board. Sandpaper is likely smoother. They also double as a club to knock out burglars.
