A complete, eco-friendly kit to make a beautiful flower brooch.
With this kit you can crochet a pink or purple flower brooch with a glossy button centre.
The kit contains everything you need to make one brooch:
- fully-illustrated crochet pattern printed on 100% recycled paper
- beautiful hand-dyed non-superwash British yarn
- natural shell button
- 4.5mm wooden crochet hook (optional)
- metal brooch back
- metal blunt-tipped yarn needle
- gift tag up-cycled from cereal packets, greetings cards, etc
The gorgeous  yarn included in this kit is a blend of 40% British Bluefaced Leicester, 40% British Shetland and 20% British Alpaca. It was prepared and spun in Yorkshire and hand-dyed in Dorset by Bluebell Yarns. This yarn is synthetic-free and not super-wash treated, which is a process that involves chlorination and coating the wool fibres with a plastic-based polymer.
The finished brooch is approximately 7.5cm or 3inches across. A gift tag is included if you are giving your finished brooch to someone.
The shell from which the buttons are made is a natural, biodegradable material. The buttons have a deep glossy sheen and each one has a unique texture.
🟩 This project is categorised as ‘easy’ and suitable for advanced beginners.

The kit is designed to be as eco-friendly / sustainable as I can possibly make it. It is beautifully presented, so the kit itself makes a great gift for a crafty and/or eco-minded friend.
