Oh, and I question the statement you made about water vapor - in the wintertime, water vapor in the air is scarce, and as a result, evaporation rates from your skin increase, making you feel colder. Adding water vapor to the air decreases rates of evaporation, making you feel warmer. I have a whole house humidifier on my furnace for this purpose, but I also try to line dry inside whenever I can - I just put my clothes (not the wife's) on a folding drying rack and turn on a small box fan next to them. I figure any E used to run the fan remains in the house, as does all the moisture - a good thing.
We also do cloth diapers, and we hang dry them whenever I take them out of the washer.
