Beading Supplies & Traditional Beadwork
The Mobridge area has a strong tradition of beadwork — pow-wow regalia and moccasins through to medallions, bags, earrings and necklaces. Larsen's carries the basics in-store when stocked. Colour availability varies, so call or text before a longer drive.
Size 11 seed beads & hanks
Size 11 is the standard size for most traditional beadwork, loom work and peyote stitch. Multiple colours when stocked, plus pre-strung hanks.
Thread, needles & beeswax
Beading thread, beading needles and beeswax or thread conditioner — the things that make the difference on a long project.
Loom beading
Flat woven panels for belts, bands, bracelets, bag straps and regalia trim. Uniform bead size matters for even, tight rows — which is why size 11 is the standard.
Peyote & brick stitch
Off-loom stitches used for medallions, lanyards, earrings, edging and wrapped pieces.
Matching a colour for a project already under way? Text a close-up to (605) 850-9455 and we will check what is in stock. Screens shift colour, so a photo narrows it down rather than settling it — the final match is best made in person, under real light.
Star Quilts & Pendleton Blankets in Mobridge
The star quilt is a significant gift in Lakota and Dakota culture, commonly given at graduations, naming ceremonies, honoring events, funerals and other meaningful occasions. Larsen's carries star quilts in-store when available. Selection and patterns vary and popular pieces can sell quickly, so it is worth a call before you drive in.
Pendleton blankets are stocked when available as well — patterns and stock vary the same way. Price on a star quilt depends on the size, the piecing and the maker, so it is quoted in store against the actual quilt rather than published here. Call (605) 845-3759 and we will tell you what is on the floor and what it costs before you make the trip.
Layaway on Star Quilts, Blankets & Gifts
Graduation season comes around at the same time every year, and the right star quilt does not always show up on the week you have the money. Layaway solves that: set the piece aside now, pay it off before you need it.
20% down holds it
Pick the quilt, blanket or gift and put 20% of the total down. It comes off the floor — no one else can buy it out from under you.
A payment every 30 days
Make a payment within 30 days and each payment starts another 30. Pay it down as fast or as slowly as your budget allows.
No fees, no deadline
There are no layaway fees and no fixed end date. As long as you are making payments, the piece stays yours to finish.
Worth knowing before graduation season — the selection is best early. Full terms on the jewelry store page.
