Bamboo Cloth Pegs: Natural and Carbonized Clothesline Clips for Laundry Drying
Product Overview
Bamboo cloth pegs do the small jobs that ordinary pegs handle badly. They grip a sock, a pair of tights, a tea towel, or a bag of freezer food with the same hold as a full-size clothespin, and they do it without marking the fabric. Each peg pairs a shaped bamboo body with a single stainless steel spring wire, so the grip comes from the shape of the wood rather than from a metal mechanism that can rust or seize.
Two finishes are available. The natural version keeps the pale blond tone of untreated bamboo, which suits light laundry rooms and Scandinavian-style interiors. The carbonized version is heat treated to a deeper brown, a more useful choice for outdoor lines, balconies, and utility spaces where the pegs will be exposed to sun and rain.

Key Advantages
- Grips That Do Not Slip: The wedge shape pulls tighter as the load settles, so a wet towel on a windy balcony stays put instead of sliding down the line.
- Two Natural Finishes: Untreated bamboo for a light interior look, or heat-treated carbonized bamboo for outdoor exposure and deeper colour.
- One Size for Small Items: At 60 mm these are built for socks, underwear, tights, tea towels and food bags, the pieces that most clothes pegs either fail to hold or crush.
- No Metal to Rust: The only steel is the spring wire itself, so the body will not stain a white garment or develop a rust mark on a damp line.
- Smooth Sanded Surface: Every edge is eased before packing, which matters when the peg is handling silk or knitwear.
- Ready for the Shelf: Packed in clear bags with a printed header card and a hanging hole, so they can go straight onto a retail display without secondary packing.
Design Details
The bamboo body is cut in a shallow V, so the two jaws meet along a single line rather than across a flat face. That profile gives a wide contact area with very little pressure, which is why the peg holds a wet sock without leaving a dent in the fabric.
A routed slot runs through the centre of the body, and the spring wire passes through it as a pivot. The wire is bent into a loop and twisted at both ends, so it stays tensioned for years without needing adjustment. Squeezing the jaws apart is light enough to do with one hand, and the loop gives the spring somewhere to flex as the peg closes.
The two sizes cover different jobs. The 60 mm peg is the everyday workhorse for small garments and kitchen use. The 72 × 12 × 17 mm version carries more wood through the jaw, giving it a stronger bite for towels, jeans, and heavier linen.
Carbonized pegs are pressed and heated rather than stained, so the colour runs through the body. They darken slightly in the first weeks of use and then hold, and they tolerate being left on the line through rain and strong sun without going grey at the edges.

Customer Reviews
"We ordered 2,000 natural pegs for our guesthouse and they hold a line in strong wind without slipping. The bamboo is smooth with no splinters, and the springs still feel tight after months of daily use."
"The carbonized finish is a lovely dark brown and clearly more weather resistant than the natural ones. They have been on an outside line all season and have neither faded nor warped."
"Perfect for the small stuff. They grip socks and baby clothes firmly, which is exactly where most pegs let go. The 60 mm size fits our thin cotton line perfectly."
"Sturdy, simple and good looking. I can clip them on one-handed, which matters a great deal when you are hanging washing while holding a baby in the other arm."
"Bought the 72 mm version for towels and jeans. Much stronger grip than our old wooden pegs, and the retail bags look professional on the shelf."
