A clothes peg, also known as a clothespin or clothes clip, is a device used to attach wet laundry to a clothesline or clotheshorse to air dry. It typically consists of two parallel plastic or wooden jaws with a spring mechanism that holds them together. One jaw has serrations or ridges to provide grip, and the other has a rounded or flat surface. The rounded or flat surface of the peg is usually decorated with patterns or designs. Clothes pegs are often used in pairs, with one peg on the top and one on the bottom of the garment to secure it to the line. They are an essential tool for drying clothes in outdoor or indoor areas, preventing them from falling off the line or being blown away by the wind.
