Yarrell Dorset Button Crafting Kit in a Tin – Choice of colours

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

As someone passionate about preserving heritage crafts, I love sharing the story  and the techniques of  the  Dorset button. This Yarrel Dorset button crafting kit invites you to explore one of the many forms of the more than 400 year old button, keeping the tradition alive in your own creative way.

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.

Each set comes beautifully presented in a metal tin with a lid. The colour of the tin may vary depending on stock availability, though they will usually be of a golden-bronze colour. The Yarrell Dorset button crafting kit is perfect for gifting and the tin can then be used to store handmade buttons or other button making essentials. 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.
