If I put a fitted sheet in the tumble dryer with other things, it will try to kidnap smaller items and twist them into one or more of its corners so that they can't come out and don't get dry. Anybody know of a way to prevent this?

What have I tried, you ask? The only solutions I can think of are

  • dry the sheet separately (seems wasteful of time, energy and the credit on the smart-card we feed into the dryer)
  • put the sheet in a mesh bag (but I've never seen big-enough mesh bags on sale, and a too-small one would just prevent it from drying)
  • put everything else in a mesh bag (again, not a great solution: would have to buy a lot of such bags and spend a lot of time putting things in and out).
  • live with the fact that some things are going to come out wet, and hang them up afterwards.

So far I've been going with the last option.
