How do I dry it?

[ShannonCC]

Yeah, I'm a last minute kinda gal I am attempting fulling for the first time. I made Deneen's bag and tossed it in the washer today. It's not done rinsing but I just took a look and it worked! Yay!

 

And then I realized I have no idea how to dry it

 

I don't have a dryer so that's out anyway. Do I just lay it flat or should I stand it up and try to shape it somehow? Or could I hang it from the line?

Do not place it in the dryer. It takes about two full days to completely dry, at least mine did. I just sat it up on top of the dryer, or in another warm place. Easy as pie

I just made another one of Deneen's bags, the first few I shaped over a bowl in a warm spot for a day, then took it off the bowl to dry inside. The one I just made has a long strap and I stuffed it with plastic bags and hung it on a dowel thru the back of a chair over my heat duct in the kitchen. We've been only using heat at night, so it keeps it warm, but not too hot and doesn't blast it, just a nice bit of warm air. The first one I ever made I dryed on top of the freezer.

It turns out it stands up all on it's own I posted some pretty pics in another thread.

 

Here's the instructions http://deneens.blogspot.com/2005/09/marvelous-fulled-mini-tote-bag.html She posted them on this board somewhere too, along with a thread on it.
