Maybe try layering it on top of a dry towel (like flat drying knits), to help pull the moisture out?
I'll add to this, you can put it on a towel, and another towel on top, and then roll it up tight and squeeze it etc. Repeat if desired. Will help with initial moisture quite a bit
Hmm ok though I’m scared there might be still a lot of water inside the fabric.
It holds a surprising amount of water and was so heavy I almost couldn’t lift it out of the machine.
I did take it outside and tried to wring as much water out as I could, ended up drenching myself in the process however.
Well yeh your towels would get wet but that's the idea, move some of the moisture out of oodie into towels, they'll dry quicker as three things versus one
Hmm yep that would make sense to take the water out that way.
Peet treadles.
Seriously, wrap wet clothing in a dry towel and dance away on top of it. Your weight causes the water to express and the towel immediately captures it.
That’s not a bad idea. It’s up hanging at the moment
I’ve never had something like this happen before so I’m not really sure what would be the best way.
