The sewing process typically pokes needles through fabric to sew fabric togetherthey will leave small holes in fine material
Hi @martyseville - Fair enough comments!Nice cord shown by Jozero. Tried it.
Issues with it (and you may not have had such issues Jozero) are:
- bunched up area of clothes leave damp spot. Even wet sometimes.
-the stretchy business of it goes "stale" after many uses.
-tangles up easily
-on bad windy day, clothes will come off the line.
Yes, I agree, a few of each type is the best solution as they both have pros and cons.The problem with safety pins is gravity. Most of the clotheslines you will encounter are not perfectly level. If you use safety pins the clothes can easily glide to one end. I bought some mini clothespins in a craft store, and they are working out very well. I also have a few safety pins too.

Brilliant, thank you. Will also work in stiff wind.Run the pin through the cord = no moving clothes on the line.

Hi jozero, I saw that Sea to Summit clothes line in my local Sacramento REI and wondered if it worked. Apparently it doesI carry a safety pin for emergencies (blown zipper, ripped items, etc) but for clothes found a great clothesline that has a double string setup with holding beads so doesn't require me to carry clothes pegs. It weighs only 1.3oz and is 11'4" long. I was tired of being the last one to arrive at an Albergue and never having any free space on the hanging lines so brought my own. At night I tie it around my bunk and hang my towel on it and it creates a privacy barrier as well (NB this does NOT keep out snoring!)View attachment 35283
Very good jozero the Camino magic is working already. I saw that Sea to Summit clothes line in my local Sacramento REI yesterday and wondered if it worked--apparently it does! BTW for any locals the Sacramento REI is having an El Camino de Santiago equipment class on Tuesday Aug. 1 at 6:30 P.M. I signed up for it, but don't know if I need it after reading this forum for so long.I carry a safety pin for emergencies (blown zipper, ripped items, etc) but for clothes found a great clothesline that has a double string setup with holding beads so doesn't require me to carry clothes pegs.

I too, am an advocate of large safety pins/diaper pins as they take no space or weight in the pack. On a windy afternoon outdoors you won't find your clean clothes lying on the ground, either!Safety pins are great for attaching damp clothing to your backpack....they can dry as you walk...not always dry in the morning.
