Kiristysnyöri

Kiristysnyöri, often translated as drawstring, is a simple yet versatile fastening mechanism found on a wide array of items. It consists of a cord or string that is threaded through a casing or eyelets, allowing the opening of a bag, garment, or other item to be tightened or loosened. The primary function of a kiristysnyöri is to secure the contents and provide a closure.

These cords can be made from various materials, including cotton, polyester, nylon, or even leather, depending on the intended use and the desired aesthetic. The thickness and flexibility of the kiristysnyöri also vary. The casing through which the cord passes is typically made of fabric or a similar flexible material, sewn into the edge of the opening.

Kiristysnyörit are commonly found on items such as backpacks, gym bags, hoodies, sweatpants, and pajama bottoms. In some cases, they may also be used for decorative purposes or to adjust the fit of a garment. The ease of use and the ability to achieve a snug closure make the kiristysnyöri a practical and enduring design element. The ends of the kiristysnyöri are often finished with aglets, which are small tips, usually made of plastic or metal, to prevent fraying and to facilitate threading.
