Set of 4 Wooden Dogwood Round Buttons
.  These measure about 7/8" across and 3/16" thick.  Each button has 2 holes for attaching.
These buttons have been made from branches of Dogwood, Red Osler or Roughleaf. The shrubs are easily recognized in winter because of their red twigs, which make a sharp contrast to the snow.  The common name, Dogwood, comes, not from the animal, but from the Old English word Dagge, meaning dagger, since this very hard wood was used to make butchers' skewers.  The wood was also used to make shuttle blocks for weaving looms.
The buttons have been finished with a water-resistant coating to reduce the chances of damage when washed. If washed, use cold to lukewarm water and a mild detergent and do not dry in the dryer or touch with a hot iron.
My elderly parents owned a Spinning, Weaving, and Fiber business with their sheep farm for many years.  They are no longer able to participate in the craft or handle a business or doing shows do to their age / health.  I am helping them reduce their inventory by offering items here.  See my other listings for many different fibers, hand tools, equipment, books, patterns, and much more.  Please contact me if you have questions or are looking for items I don't have listed.  I will gladly combine orders to save you on shipping.  Request a shipping quote for more information and wait for an invoice from me when multiple items are purchased.
