Wrapped in vintage-style packaging with real nostalgic charm, this gift set is as lovely to open as it is to use. Inside are two spools of jute twine (green and natural) for tying in shoots, along with five wooden labels to keep track of seedlings. Completing the set is a pair of steel flower snips - just the thing for deadheading or gathering fresh flowers.

The green twine is 2 ply and 80 metres long, and the natural is 3 ply and 60 metres in long - both made on machines in use since the 1920s and spooled and wrapped by hand.

Every item is practical, well made and presented with a traditional touch. A thoughtful collection of essentials that will be used throughout the gardening year.
