For cords and laces: the eyelet holds the edge so the fabric cannot fray. The size comes to Ø 14 mm. Inside the pack are 44 pieces. The material is brass, polypropylene.
In home decoration they hold curtain fabric on the rail and give craft work a clean finish. Thin cloth needs a reinforcement underneath, or the eyelet will pull through the fabric over time. An eyelet that still turns has had too little pressure and will come loose as soon as the fabric is pulled taut — set it more firmly straight away.
What Prym Ösen mit Scheiben, bunt, in Herzbox, 14 mm 542622 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.
Do they rust?
The parts are brass and therefore rust-free. Even after several washes the surface stays as it was, as long as no scouring agent touches it.
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 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.
