Suggested fiber is tapestry wool - which I didn't have enough copper color, so used perle coton instead.   Guessing coverage would be better with DK yarn or tapestry wool.

 This is what a yorkshire button looks like.  I've made a couple of them -- with ok results.

Pumpkins, Yorkshire Button way.

 I'm using a wooden piece purchased from Karen Smock.  ( The templates in the kit I have, by Gina-B Silkworks, were not large enough for this project - nor have the right number of teeth. left side of the picture)   I'm trying DMC perle coton 5, Col. 946.    I have a smaller piece, too, with 35 points - might try using a perle size 8 --
