No Tangle Way to Hang Sheets on the Clothesline - February 2018
When hanging out sheets, fold them in half, placing the hemmed edges together and peg on line instead of draping the sheet over the line. The sheets won't twist and tangle in the wind and when you take in the washing your sheets are already half folded.

Note: This is how I hang sheets and my tablecloths. With the tablecloths I also make sure to smooth them out once they're hung, so they dry almost wrinkle-free. Then they can be folded and put straight away. I don’t iron tablecloths (or placemats, serviettes, doyleys or any other linen of this type) until it is ready to be used, a tip I learned from a collector of vintage linens years ago, to preserve vintage and antique linens. I also hang my tablecloths and runners on skirt hangers so they don't have fold marks. Cath
