What's Included

Along with teachings about the history and meaning of the “Arrow Belt”, we provide looms, yarn and other supplies to get you started via Canada Post.

In a series of instructional videos, we begin with a starter project - a Red River arrow scarf - and work our way up to creating your personalized version of the famous red river sash, based on L’Assomption sashes worn by Red River traders in the 1800’s. 

Full video instructions from beginning to end, as well as troubleshooting and design options are included. 

Live video teachings were recorded in 2021, to provide additional information on the cultural uses and history of the Metis sash. A discussion forum and Facebook group are available for questions & clarification.
