For cords and laces: the eyelet holds the edge so the fabric cannot fray. The size comes to Ø 11 mm. Inside the pack are 15 pieces. The material is brass.
In home decoration they hold curtain fabric on the rail and give craft work a clean finish. Punch the hole tightly: too large a hole lets the eyelet wander, a snug one holds it in place. Thin cloth needs a reinforcement underneath, or the eyelet will pull through the fabric over time. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly.
What Prym Ösen und Scheiben Ø 11 mm silberfarbig 541370 is suitable for
- Drawstrings at hoods and cuffs
- Curtains and home decoration
- Belts and bag handles
Frequently asked questions
How are they fitted?
Small sizes go on with a hammer and a base or with punch pliers, larger ones need the enclosed tool plus a hammer. Either way, put a solid base underneath, not a table top.
Which fabrics do they suit?
Firm wovens, leather, felt and tarpaulin hold on their own. Thin or stretchy cloth needs an interfacing underneath so the eyelet cannot migrate through. A strip of webbing or leather inside spreads the pull as well.
Which size matches which cord?
The inner diameter decides: the cord should glide through easily but not rattle. When in doubt, measure the cord and pick the next size up.
Can an eyelet be removed again?
Hardly ever cleanly, because its rim is folded over. So test on a scrap before starting on the good piece. At worst, cut the piece of fabric out and set a patch beneath.
