Where did you find a fold-out drying rack? I've done some searches, but no luck yet.

I found mine at a yard sale, but I think that Walmart has racks that set in a tub for drying wool sweaters. You might try those type of stores in the travel departments.

You might be talking about something like these.

But I am looking for a flat one.

The one I have is made of plastic coated metal bars and has legs and fold out wings, so it's like a table almost. I've been looking for one like it on the web, but haven't found anything yet. It looks like there are sweater drying racks on the web that could be put side by side to make enough space to spread out a kilt though. If I see anything like what I have, I will post it.
