Great Products, Prices, and Service in a Warm, Supportive Environment
Hi, My name is
Nancy and along with my husband of 42 years,
Cal, we are Ebay ID calbeanie02 and etsy seller weavespin. We have been in business since 1978 here in
Southern California, out of our home as Custom Handweaving.
We are a supplier to the weavers, beaders, knitters and the spinners in the
Southern California area. I have always been a stitcher and knitter since Girl Scouts. I became interested in Weaving when taking a UCLA extension class and got my first loom as a bet with my DH in 1974. I have been very active over the years in the Southern California Handweaver’s Guild. The Greater Los Angeles Spinners Guild has made me an honorary member because I bring my spinning supplies to their monthly meetings.
Since taking a class at Convergence Cincinnati in 1988 from Virginia Blakelock and Carol Pernoud, I’ve been HOOKED on beading. Since then, I’ve taken classes whenever and wherever I could. I especially like to make jewelry using Swarovski crystals. I also do French Beaded Flowers, after taking many of Arlene Baker’s classes. In 2004, I even attended Bead and Button. Fantastic! 2007 saw me at Bead Expo in Oakland. Too much fun! 2008 & 2009 saw me at Beads on the Vine. And 2010 will also see me there.
Just recently our web site has been started and we are slowly learning how to use it. I will be posting more and more offerings, especially fiber, books, yarns, beads, and spinning supplies. We carry a vast selection of books, especially all of the Interweave Press Books. Come by and check out our site as it grows.
In January of 2009 Nancy's Computer crashed! Very little was recovered and the backup disks were out of date. Please bear with me while I reinvent the wheel. The thing I missed most was the 3 day blog-like description of the course of evens in the following:
Congratulations Nancy!
Nancy's work appeared in the "The Big Bang Theory" on October 15, 2007. Nancy was commissioned by Warner Brother TV Studios to weave an "over the top" poncho for the show. Additionally Nancy worked on the stage set providing a warped loom and then training the actor how to weave.
January/February 2008 Handwoven P. 24 -- Read the article on Nancy's participation in "The Big Bang Theory"
But it was recovered from the Greater Los Angeles Spinners Guild messages. Hurray!

This is the "Poncho" woven for the Big Band Theory before design changes were made. The hood and side panels which had been commercially woven were added the night before and then removed on set. The piece was folded on the diagonal to give a "real" poncho look with the front having a point down. |
