All butter shortbread and tartan. There’s nothing quite like a hot brew with a piece of shortbread on a winter’s eve. All Butter is a homage to this warm cosy treat with fork dimple shortbread texture and adorned with tartan ribbons.
Giddy Aunt Yarns have created this beautiful shortbread and tartan set in their Highland 4 ply base.

Created to celebrate winter for The Seasons Sock Club with Giddy Aunt Yarns.
