Clothes Pins Help

[TammyS]

So, Hive, do you know where I can find good clothes pins?  I can't seem to find any anymore.  They are all thin wood, with weak (sometimes useless) springs.  Where do you get heavy duty clothes pins with thick, stiff springs?

Unfortunately, no.  I guard my older ones jealously.  Sigh.

I can't vouch for these, not having tried any. However, this store caters to the Amish and they hang all their laundry:

Me, too.  The kids (and the dh) like to use clothespins for all sorts of non-laundry things.  If I catch them using one of my "good" (old) ones, I get medieval.

I found mine at Walmart. They are bamboo and very solid with sturdy springs. I've not broken one yet.

Here's the link, but it says they're no longer available. Perhaps in the spring when more people are thinking of hanging clothes they will restock?
