A wire peg that's gentle on your hands

Standard wire pegs are built tough — which is great for holding washing on the line, but not so great if you have arthritis, joint sensitivity, reduced hand strength, or any condition that makes gripping and squeezing uncomfortable.

Easy Squeeze pegs are made from thinner 1.5mm wire, which means a softer spring tension — roughly equivalent to a regular wooden or plastic peg. You get all the benefits of stainless steel (no rust, no breakage, no staining) with a grip that works with your hands, not against them.

They come in packs of 63 in a reusable hemp bag — enough to handle a full load of washing with ease.

Perfect for

  • Arthritis and joint pain in hands or fingers
  • Reduced hand or finger strength
  • Carpal tunnel or repetitive strain injury
  • Older Australians who find standard pegs too stiff
  • Anyone who prefers a lighter, easier grip
  • Children helping with the laundry
  • Those switching from plastic or wooden pegs who want a familiar feel

Which grade should I choose?

Grade 201 — Standard

Best for indoor use or if you bring your pegs inside after washing. Not suitable for coastal areas or leaving outside permanently.

Grade 316 — Marine Grade

The tougher option. Suitable for coastal homes, leaving pegs outside permanently, and harsh outdoor conditions. Will never rust.

Easy Squeeze wire pegs make a genuinely useful gift for a parent, grandparent, or anyone who struggles with standard pegs. Packaged in a reusable hemp bag — no plastic packaging, no waste.
