tumble driers - wet or dry?

[unknown]

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.

Thanks Owain. I knew there was something about a drier not being able to take the same amount of clothes that was washed.

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.

You might want to think about making a airing/drier cupboard. There are some notes in the wiki,

don't use to the most recent version as it's unfortunately become full of inaccurate information.
