The museum tells stories about twisted button sewing and displays special examples. In the idyllically situated municipality of Pregarten, where the inhabitants used to fetch their daily water for cooking and washing their clothes from the well on the market square, there is now a real treasure trove of old local history from the Waldviertel and Mühlviertel. In the old walls of the former soap factory there is a small twisted button museum with old handicrafts. The button maker, author and keeper of folk heritage Sabine Krump has revived the old craft of twisted button sewing here and developed it into an artisan craft, but has also created a monument to it. While visitors to the "Knopfstubn & Schmuckschmiede" have the opportunity to purchase special pieces from artisans and craftswomen from the region, the enthusiastic button maker offers courses for those interested in learning how to sew twisted buttons on the premises of the Zwirnknopfmuseum. You can also learn old handicrafts such as crocheting money hooks, knitting traditional costume socks and sewing them into calligraphy or soutache jewellery in the courses on offer. In the privately run Zwirnknopf Museum, you can see bobbin lace, occi and frivolity work, various embroidery and crochet techniques, as well as the oldest twisted button, various needlework utensils, clothing from times gone by, different buttons, handicraft objects and a unique "Tambouriergoaß".
