I really don't have the extra floor space in my apt. for a dedicated drying rack I typically don't wash more than one piece of wool at a time, so I've the top of my washer, and the top of the dryer is another option. I have a rack in my little utility closet where my washer/dryer are so I can just hang my lycra on a hanger and it dries pretty quickly. I've done it this way all along and it doesn't appear to stretch the lycra or anything. I do dry my shorts inside-out so the padding will be as exposed as possible.
