I have bought toggle buttons at both stores. If they don't have what you want, try ebay. ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale. Richard Dawkins

I haven't tried them yet but they are on my "to-do" list for my wool winter coat. The article is by Kathryn Brenne. ------ Sheila "sewing very slowly to fill an empty closet" 2012/2013 Stash Busting Sew-Along: 27.25 yards sewn (as of 05/15/13) 21.75 yards purchased (as of 05/15/13)

Sawyer Brook has a button matching service if you buy fabric from them and they might be willing to ship buttons if you send them a sample. Lots of yarn shops also sell buttons that are suitable for hand knit sweaters and toggles might be available in them too.
