To solve a problem wherein a conventional clothespin makes a burden because of continuing to put out finger force in order to continuously press the clothespin when holding and releasing the washing.

A spring is fixed in a position where the direction of spring force applied to a spring fixing position is vertically inverted by opening/closing of a holding part with respect to a straight line connecting the spring fixing position to the rotational center. Consequently, since there is no need to continuously open the holding part, time to put out the finger force decreases to reduce labor. Further, operation of holding the washing with one hand is facilitated. Since the holding parts are provided on both right and left sides with respect to a fulcrum, the washing can be held without turning the clothespin to turn the holding parts toward the washing, thereby improving operability.
