Brass eyelets with washers that bind a punched edge cleanly and do not corrode. It measures Ø 8 mm. The pack holds 24 pieces. Produced from brass.
Eyelets bind the edge of a hole so that cords, ribbons and laces can run without fraying the fabric. 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 8 mm silberfarbig 541374 is suitable for
- Lace-up closures on bags and pouches
- Drawstrings at hoods and cuffs
- Curtains and home decoration
Frequently asked questions
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.
How many does a drawstring bag need?
A simple bag with a drawstring needs only a few at the corners. A full-height lacing is counted in pairs, kept at even intervals.
How far from the edge do they go?
Enough fabric must remain so nothing tears out: roughly one eyelet width from the edge, and on soft cloth rather more than less. With several eyelets a drawn line keeps the row straight.
