Hello everyone! (And thank you Ginny for having us on your lovely blog today.) For those of you who aren’t familiar with us yet, we are The Wilson Family- Taryn, Jeff and Bracken. WoolyMossRoots is our family business and we like to think of our online shop as a haven for knitters, gardeners & creative spirits. Everything is made by our family in our woodland workshop, on our small Oregon homestead. My husband Jeff is the woodworker and I help with different parts of the process, taking pictures of the beautiful things he makes to post in the shop. When we’re not fully immersed in all that, our favorite place to be is in the garden. We welcome you to join us on the blog!

IMG_6836At WoolyMossRoots, we offer handmade artisan buttons, wooden shawl pins, cedar garden & homestead signs, sustainable wooden jewelry, and more. We make things for nature lovers and all the wood Jeff uses has a story. We reclaim many small pieces of wood that would otherwise be discarded by fellow woodworking friends and we also use many woods from our own yard whenever we find fallen branches or trim our fruit trees.

Even with the new offerings we’ve been adding to the shop lately, buttons are still at the heart of our shop. Jeff has been busy making custom buttons for holiday gifts. If you are in need of any custom buttons (or signs) for the holidays, now is the time to place your order! I’m happy to say there are now even more ways for you to share your projects with WoolyMossRoots buttons. In addition to our Ravelry group and Facebook page, we have now joined the world of Instagram! You can share your projects there with the tag #woolymossroots

Look for us in 2016 at two Oregon Fiber Festivals: The Black Sheep Gathering in Eugene, Oregon and The Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival in Canby, Oregon. You can also find us at the Mother Earth News Fair in Albany, Oregon.

We want to thank all of our customers who have been supporting us all these years! It’s truly a pleasure working with you. When I get messages with links to your knitting pattern and yarn color, asking which wood would be a great fit, it makes my job so much fun! Pairing wood and yarn is something I absolutely love. (And one of my very favorite combinations right now, by the way, is yellow yarn with buttons in black walnut wood.)

  4. I discovered the Wilson’s treasures years ago on Etsy. I have been blessed to have a few buttons and a pendant that was carved by Jeff. I appreciate their love of getting back to the basics and living a simple life. I love reading their blog posts and have watched Bracken grow up. If anyone is looking for gorgeous and skill crafted handmade items, please visit their Etsy stores. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

  23. Thank you so much for the giveaway! It was wonderful to meet you at OFFF this fall, Taryn! I hope I see you and Bracken soon again. I always love your buttons and earrings. SO Beautiful!! 🙂

  28. Very original and beautiful! I would love to win a pair of earrings, I am a bit of an addict, when it comes to earrings. 🙂

  30. Thanks for the chance to win. Those buttons with the chicken and the ones with the tree are just gorgeous!

  43. I can’t believe how generous you are in this giveaway. I’d love to win either of these wonderous gifts. I have to get the chicken buttons for my little granddaughter’s sweater and a set of buttons for my daughter’s “buttons down the front” skirt. There is something so special about being able to help another family by purchasing something that they made my hand.

  44. Simply divine. Any knitter would be lucky to win such beautiful buttons to adorn their knitted gifts.
    Thank you for this giveway. It would be a pleasure & an honor to win.

  49. Love everything about the Wilson family – their blog and their products. I am not (yet) an accomplished knitter but have used their buttons on thrifted sweaters. The compliments I get are so positive and everyone wants to know all about the beautiful buttons. I would dearly love to have the chance to make some more items extra special especially as the Winter holidays approach. Thank you!

  50. I love Wooly Moss Root buttons! Their buttons make my finished knits feel even more special and they have great customer service. I had a question about some buttons I wanted for a sweater I had knitted my daughter, they were quick to respond to my inquiry and kept me informed about my order. Whenever I need buttons they’re the first place I look.
