Not a bad bit of pegging out there, good effort, nice use of colours, I am very impressed with white, black, blue , white black, blue recurring theme. Colour coordination of pegs could be better and personally I would have hung the trousers waist band down to assist quicker drying. The srtiped top hung by the shoulders is a dis-as-ter and lets the whole thing down. Marks out of 10 for this one – 8.

The aesthetics – the colour coordination I agree with. But not with your criticism of trouser hanging; trousers should always hung from the waistband so that the trouser legs dry straight and do not need ironing.

top or bottom hanging is a controversial subject in the great washing line debate. It is similar to the cream or jam first on a scone.

PPff. The scone debate is a mere trifle. Neat trousers is not.

They might well be dry in three or four hours.

Nah, don’t hang trousers upside down Andrew. It leaves peg marks. Just don’t enclose waistband front and back as this contestant has. Equally, don’t peg from the shoulders: peg marks again. The striped top complements the colour theme in my opinion, so on balance, I think 7/10

Not if you peg on the seam, Especially Jeans. Also peg inside out so that the pockets thoroughly dry. Never peg from shoulders, under the arm seam is best. I cannot agree on the inclusion of the striped top in the composition.

Also, had a little more thought gone into colour combination and in order blue, black, white could be the flag of Estonia.

We’ll have to hope there are an odd number of judges available – we don’t want deadlock on this important matter. Though I’m right. Obviously (but yes to inside-out trousers and pegging under the arm seam)

As for judges, I think you and I are well qualified in these matters.
It would make great TV…

Andrew, we’re a dream team where washing is concerned. We can bicker about waist-bands, but basically we’re like-minded. Yes, I can see that Top Billed Prime Time TV show now!

But all the tops are pegged from the shoulders so why pick on the striped one? Personally I always peg jeans from the waistband inside out and tops from the bottom along the side seams. Currently though it is all strewn across a drier indoors! I wonder if you have a precise rule for that?

I agree, it was the striped one that irritated me.
Don’t wash unless I can get it outside for at least an hour or so. Cannot beat fresh air. A stiff breeze is even better. Finish off inside if necessary.

Great post but must side with the pants from the waistband drying team! Winter drying here in Canada is on a rack close to the fireplace…

The way I understand gravity, it pulls down. Since the waistband is the thickest, with the most layers of fabric, it will hold moisture the longest. If you hang it lowest, all the water from the entire pants will pass through the waistband first. Your trouser legs may dry quickly this way, but the waist will remain damp all day. Hang waistband up, legs down, and while the legs may not dry as quickly as the other way, the whole pair of pants can be worn much sooner. I can’t believe this has to be explained. 🙂
I agree with Jo, the commentary here is quite entertaining!

Thanks for adding your thoughts Crystal. I would say that if the waistband is pegged close to the line it won’t get the benefit of air flow and is just as likely to remain damp for longer.
