Do the "pin keepers" fit onto blanket pins?

Don't know - but doubt it. They fit the backs of standard short pins with clasps - replace the clasps. Those pins seem thinner than I remember blanket pins being.

No, they will not work on blanket pins at all.

I'm sending my thanks to Riverkilt for cluing me in to the pin-keepers in this thread. They're pretty awesome.

You're most welcome. You may need to file off the point of the pin after you've secured it with the pinkeeper since the point of the pin can jab...it sticks out beyond the pinkeeper
