How to soften terry flats?

[Snowy Love]

Scrunch them up - I stretch opposite corners and then scrunch them - it doesn't make them as soft as the dryer, but better than the crunchyness when they come off the line. The other thing you can do apparently is take them off the line when they're not quite dry - but I'm not that brave - I'm scared they'll go mouldy.

When they are over dry they will go crunchy so check them periodically and while you're out there feeling them give them a scrunching up. I also give them a few flicks when I take them off the line.

[Doing my best]

I put white vinegar (or cleaning vinegar which I always run out of.) in where you normally put fabric softener. You really notice the difference.
