Ancient times
The history of wooden clothespins can be traced back to ancient times when people used various methods to secure their laundry while drying.
The earliest carved clothespins date back to ancient times and were quite different from the wooden clothespins we are familiar with today. These early clothespins were typically handcrafted from natural materials such as wood, bone, or even stone, and oftentimes featured ornate patterns or motifs.
The modern wooden clothespin, as we know it today, emerged in the 19th century as a response to the growing need for a convenient and effective tool to hang laundry.
The earliest versions of the clothespins we know today, were handcrafted from solid wood, often maple or birch, and featured a simple design consisting of two pieces of wood hinged together with a small spring or metal wire.
