Description
Winter Dyke or winterdyke or winter-dyke is a Scots word for a clothes horse used in drying clothing indoors. The word "dyke" means a wall or a fence made without mortar that was occasionally used for hanging laundry in the summer months. Hence the winter dyke used specifically for the colder weather months.*
