Yarrell Dorset Button Crafting Kit in a Tin – 10 Colour Combos + Christmas Edition

This Dorset button crafting kit has been thoughtfully curated to reflect eco-friendly values, featuring plastic-free reusable packaging and materials that include recycled components.

Designed with care and an understanding of how crafting can support mental health and pain management, this kit provides a gentle, mindful activity. Focusing on technique and learning a traditional craft can help ease stress and offer a soothing creative outlet.

As someone passionate about preserving heritage crafts, I love sharing the story of Dorset buttons – a beautiful and historic textile art form. This kit invites you to explore the Yarrell Dorset Button style, keeping the tradition alive in your own creative way.

Each set comes beautifully presented in a golden-bronze or similar metal tin with a lid, perfect for gifting or storing your handmade buttons. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to learn, practise, and enjoy making your own buttons – plus a few little extras to make you smile.
