I have attached a button and felted around the button hole. Will post a photo in daylight tomorrow I've also ordered some merino/silk blend wool to work on something for myself  |

I like the leaf button. And the recipient should just love it!

Very nice I got some of World of Wool's merino and silk blends, probably a couple of years ago now, and they are really lovely. I hope you like yours and make something nice for yourself. |

That's the button I would have chosen too! I didn't like to voice my opinion when you showed us all the lovely buttons because it had to be your uninfluenced choice.
I bet you're chuffed with the finished cowl!

I agree, that leaf button is just right.

Oh my! I have just spent the last hour cruising the textilegarden.com site. I have a very large order pending. I have never seen so many great pins, trims and buttons!!! Thanks for sharing (I think)

Thank you for the lovely comments, I am really pleased with the finished cowl, and was very sad to wave it off at the Post Office this morning.
Lol Sulasmom, the website isn't the easiest to use but oh my, they have some fab stuff ;D

Love the Cowl, and the buttons (think I will stay away from that web site though, as it might be dangerous for me!)
I love wet felting with merino/silk mix, makes for a lovely lustre. Will look forward to seeing photos of your next project.
(mmm i do need a big button for a bag I made, maybe just a quick look at the button site.....)

I was thinking the exact same thing, Jane! I bought so many buttons last time I went to the fabric shop, I didn't even have anything in mind for them, they just looked nice |
