Description:
Red Cedar Hat with Ermine Pelt, 2022
Caroline Luckey
Haida and Tsimshian

This cedar bark hat is woven with red cedar bark and embellished with an ermine pelt. It is woven in the Haida style in the "Raven's Hood" design using three way twining and skip stitch. It was created during the Beginning/Intermediate - Cedar Bark Weaving class taught by Holly Churchill in 2022.
"Tsimshian primarily use red cedar to weave. This hat was created to challenge myself to learn 'Raven's Hood' design. I'm blessed to be Haida and Tsimshian so I was able to weave in the Haida style (counter clockwise), which I prefer."
