Beading Supplies for Traditional Beadwork
The Mobridge area has a strong tradition of beadwork — from pow-wow regalia and moccasins to medallions, bags, earrings, necklaces, and ceremonial pieces. Larsen's carries seed beads, hanks, thread, needles, and beeswax for customers working on traditional and everyday beading projects.
Loom Beading
Loom beading creates flat, woven panels used for belts, bands, bracelets, bag straps, and regalia trim. Size 11 seed beads are the standard size for most loom work — uniform size and consistent shape matter for even, tight rows. Beading thread and a good needle make the difference in long projects.
Peyote & Brick Stitch
Peyote stitch and brick stitch are off-loom techniques used to create beaded pendants, earrings, handles, bags, and three-dimensional pieces. Both work well with size 11 seed beads. Consistent bead size across a hank matters for flat, even tension in peyote work.
Regalia, Moccasins & Medallions
Traditional beaded regalia — including moccasins, medallions, rosettes, dance bags, and chokers — typically uses size 11 seed beads in specific color patterns. Color availability at Larsen's varies. Call or text ahead if you are working on a project that needs a specific color.
Color Matching for Ongoing Projects
Running out of a specific bead color mid-project is one of the most common beading problems. Bring a sample of your existing bead or text a close-up photo before driving in. In-person comparison under store lighting gives the best color match.
