I also finger or loom weave sashes and straps from commercial wool or my hand spun wool in the patterns and designs that are representative of the Fur Trade Era. I custom dye the wool yarn with natural or synthetic dyes. Below are pictures of some of the hat and sash styles that I make that were worn before and during the Fur Trade Era. Other hats that I make that aren't pictured are the Scottish eight section tweed cap, and the forage cap. Card woven patterns are many.
Card woven fabric is excellent for straps because it is thick and strong.
