IME two hours is usually sufficient. However, quality socks can be stubborn creatures (i.e. they tend to take [much] longer to dry).
You underestimate me. Not too mention it's a sunny day.
My (er, high qualtiy 2RMB from the railway station socks) are pretty well dry as they come out of the washer.
In fairness I had a few very thick and heavy Western T-Shirts in my '2-hour selection' as well and they have dried.
Phillipas wondering just what he got into with this FT thing - I thought it was about discussing miles rather than my socks
