Can we save the iron and some energy?
Well, if you mean linen in the broad sense of the word, like the sheets and blankets and whatnot, no we don't need to iron them. Actually I never even thought about ironing sheets. But I'll bet Martha Stewart does it. But linen clothes, made of actual linen, they are so wrinkle prone. You'd look silly wearing them without ironing. You know, when I started hanging my clothes on a clothesline, I thought the old notion that drying them outside eliminating the need for an iron was not possible. But really it is. The don't get SO dry that they can't flatten out just perfect when you run your hand over them. Let's line dry things. That'll kill two birds with one stone, eh? The dryer AND the iron.
I hang the wet sheets over a banister or railing to dry after pulling them tide and even. I'll need hardly any ironing after than besides perhaps the edges of shams if too wrinkled for extra delight;-)
