Nothing like a soft insert. Just saying.

Re: Pegging out

Plastic each one has a little plastic flower on it or a bird. I also have some ancient wooden ones I don't use but my grandad carved he loved my nan into each one and I can't bring myself to throw them away.

Muddy, Tell your maid to be careful whilst she's hanging out the clothes! A blackbird might come down and peck off her nose!!

But if she makes a big commotion, a little Jenny Wren will fly down into the garden and pop it back again!!!

Re: Pegging out

I have seen, on period films, the use of two intertwined clothes lines. To hang out clothes, the two are opened apart and a corner of the clothing item pushed through.

I have never seen that done in real life, though it appeals to me on the grounds that the purchase of expensive clothes pegs is unnecessary.

Has anyone done this?

Oh but the dirt therein...

Re: Pegging out

Being "Green" I only use wooden pegs. The plastic ones never decompose when they break. They just lurk in grass till they get mowed into a dozen pieces.

Re: Pegging out

Neither would I
I'm in buckets now

Re: Pegging out

When they break we use a permanent marker and use them for plant markers.
