a small, cylindrical or tapered piece of wood or plastic that is used to fasten clothes to a clothesline
A peg is a small device used for fastening clothes or other items to a clothesline or clotheshorse, typically made of plastic or wood, with two prongs that can be squeezed together to open the jaws of the peg and released to secure the item. Pegs are a convenient tool for drying clothes, allowing them to hang freely in the breeze and sunshine without slipping or falling from the line. They are also used for other purposes, such as clipping papers together or hanging decorations. Pegs come in various sizes and shapes and can be found in a range of colors and materials to suit different needs and preferences.
