During a recent trip to Nantucket, I visited Nantucket Looms. Upon entering this seaside shop you are drawn in by a magnificent display of locally made furniture, home accessories, artwork, and finely woven items. This store evokes the feeling of a comfortable well styled home. Upstairs weavers are hard at work among spools of colorful natural fibers.
Nantucket Looms was founded in 1968 and has remained a favorite destination by many, including all first ladies since Jackie O. If you plan to visit Nantucket this summer I suggest visiting Nantucket Looms, but beware it will be hard to leave without something in hand. If you can not make it to the island check out Nantucket Loom's website and well written blog, Warp and Weft Blog featuring a series of articles about the island and local craftsmen. http://nantucketlooms.com/
