| I'm so pleased to now be able to offer a lovely
selection of natural horn buttons and toggles to complement our
natural Shetland yarns, and knitted and woven items. The horn is
primarily sourced from English and Scottish stag horn (the
exception being the pure black horn, which is sourced from
Indian 'Buffalo' horn).
No animals were killed to retrieve these
horns; rather they are from fallen horn and ones that have been
in storage for over 80 and 100 years and are now being put to
good use!
In various naturally occurring shades and
beautifully random striations, they are sized as small, medium
and large.
Very reasonably priced too from 50p for the
small to £3.00 each for the very large. |

I'm sure you will be as fascinated and charmed by
these lovely and natural horn products as I am. They have
certainly fired my imagination and inspired me with lots of
ideas for new applications in my knitting and weaving projects.
I hope they do the same for you too!
