New-Style Clothes Pins
 |
 |
“The stainless steel clothes pins are from Italy. They are basically lifetime clothes pins,” says Sue Clark, marketing manager for LeeValley, noting that she has tested the company’s clothes line products and especially likes the stainless pins. “They really grab, so they are great in the wind. I tested them in the winter and summer – you can leave them out, and they don’t rust. They don’t fall apart; the spring mechanism is well designed. In the winter, I didn’t wear gloves on purpose, and my fingers never stuck to them. I left them in a container that filled with rain and snow. Nothing happened to them.”
At $14.50 for 20 of the 3-in. long stainless steel pins, they are a little spendy, but they never need to be replaced.
LeeValley also sells oversized wooden pins with a heavy-duty spring (50 for $4.95) to hang blankets and other heavy items. And they have colorful Twisty Pegs™ plastic disc pins ($9.90 for 20) for hanging white clothing.
