They’ll be softer if you dry them outside in the sunshine, but they’ll only be really soft if you tumble dry them.
Which you should avoid doing really, because nuns, kittens and baby cyclists will die of global warming.

Are you familiar with washing soda?
Cheapest water softener stocked in most large-ish supermarkets. -
We line dry 90% our stuff (in the basement, because of my wife's terror of theft) and I much prefer the feel of clothing dried this way, to the point where I'm suspicious of clothing that's too soft and feel that it's not quite clean.

All my clothes are stiff as a board from washing. Never had this issue before assume it's a london hard water thing?
Have looked it up and its either too much detergent or not enough. Ive tried both.
Could it also be limescale buildup? Ive tried doing a vinegar wash and extra rinses but no change.
I just want soft clothes again 😩
