Clothes line - what kind of wire do I use?
I want to hang a clothes line in my backyard, but I have no idea what kind of wire to use. or is it twine? string?
What material should I use?

This is kind of hard to say without sounding snarky, but you use clothes line, usually. They sell it at the hardware store.
RE: Clothes line - what kind of wire do I use?
Yep you can usually buy little packages that come labelled as 'clothesline' in just about any hardware store or even wal-mart. My guess would be in with the clothes hangers/storage.

If you get a metal wire, make sure it is coated with plastic so it won't mark the clothes.

Oh, wow! Shows you how clueless I am in this dept.

We got a retractable clothesline, and I love it! It just rolls back up when you're done. You have to have something to attach it to, and another pole or something with a hook where it will hook on. We got it at Home Depot a few years ago. Just another idea!

Cool, thanks! I see a trip to Home Depot in my future.

Martha Stewart for K-Mart also makes a retactable clothes line and it comes with all the mounting hardware. I remember it being cheap too.
GL. I don't have a clothes line but my MIL does and I love the way her air-dried sheets smell.
