Métis Finger weaving is a fun & ancient skill used to create beautiful belts, bags, bands, and bracelets!

Finger-weaving is a method of thread-twining that creates solid shapes of colour including arrowheads, diamonds, flames, and lightning bolts that can’t be created on a loom. Each piece is unique and can be used for decorative purposes. The methods range from simple to mind-bending-ly complex as you advance.

Used to create the iconic Métis “Sayncheur Flayshii” (arrow-belt, Métis sash), finger weaving is an ancient tradition that can’t be recreated with machinery. For the Métis, a finely woven sash is the epitome of luxury!
