If a washing machine has a capacity of 6kg of dry clothes, is a tumble drier with the same capacity the weight of the dried clothes or the wet clothes?

Usually a tumble will take a full load of washing, unless it'sa washer-dryer when it's only a half load of washing.
If you've got very heavy wet towels you might want to not load the tumble fully.

Not that I'm particularly looking for a drier at the moment as my bubble-wrap dehumidifier tent + 2 clothes horses dries 2 full loads at the same time.
