I’m grateful to the team at Langford Lakes for their understanding. Thank you so much for your continued support.

Dorset buttons. A 400 year old skill which will compliment everything else you do. Very calming, mindful, and fun. And it's dead useful to be able to make your own buttons!

I wrap mine around lolly sticks, but I mainly work small projects so I don't have huge amounts of thread.
