These are the kind of classic round wooden clothespins a granny would use. And granny, it turns out, was onto something. While you can't beat a dryer for convenience, regularly blasting clothes with high heat has its costs, namely concerning energy bills and garment longevity. Naturally drying on a line in the air can greatly extend the wear-life of clothes. Colors stay truer; fabrics keep firmer. Of course, dryers are amazing for many laundry loads (bath towels, for starters), and we're not giving ours up any time soon. But for those delicate loads with our most cherished clothing cargoes, we reach for these round wooden clothespins to keep them off the ground, gently drying in the breeze.
