Buttons |
| Just one more essential tool of the fibre trade... buttons are the tried and tested, ultimate closures for sweaters, fasteners for scarves, mittens, handbags and can be used to adorn any garment (a great way to hide knitting "features"). These buttons are handmade from a variety of local wood and come with bark for a more rugged look or debarked for a smoother slide through the button hole.
