Yorkshire Button Crafting Kit in a Tin – Make a Mini Pincushion – Choice of 10 Colour Combinations in Tapestry Wool

This Yorkshire Button Crafting Kit has been thoughtfully curated for mindful making, combining traditional heritage techniques, sustainable materials, and a little froggy personality. Inspired by slow crafting and the joy of creating by hand, this kit teaches you how to make a beautiful mini pincushion using the Yorkshire button method.

Each kit is prepared with eco-friendly values in mind. It comes in a reusable metal tin filled with mostly plastic-free materials. The included tokens are made from plastic but can be swapped for wooden versions on request (subject to availability). The tin is perfect for reusing as storage for your growing collection of handmade buttons or craft supplies.

You’ll start with the largest loom in the set to learn the technique, then move on to smaller looms as your confidence grows — ideal for making additional pincushions or standalone Yorkshire buttons.
