Overview
- Short TikTok clips from users @jpee074 and @xox_christinaaaa, highlighted by UK outlets on Sunday, show clipping the peg onto the line with clothes hanging below.
- The small hole in many pegs lets the peg sit on the line while the jaws grip the fabric underneath, which can reduce crease marks.
- Both reports explain that line-drying uses less energy and is gentler on fabrics than tumble drying.
- Comments under the videos show surprise, including one viewer who said they will stop wiping down the line before use.
- Many UK viewers warn that strong winds could shake items loose, so some plan to keep doubling garments over the line or using extra pegs.
