Nantucket Looms has been an iconic destination on Main Street since 1968, welcoming visitors and island residents to explore a collection rooted in craftsmanship, simplicity, and enduring design. Located in the heart of historic downtown Nantucket, the store reflects a long tradition of creating and curating textiles, furnishings, lighting, artwork and decor shaped by the island’s lifestyle and history of craftsmanship.
At the center of Nantucket Looms are its handwoven textiles. Created using traditional weaving techniques, these throws, blankets, wraps, and scarves embody the heritage of American handcraft while offering comfort and beauty for everyday living. Each piece reflects the care and skill of the artisans who continue the weaving tradition that has defined Nantucket Looms for generations.
Visitors are invited to experience this craft firsthand in the second-floor weaving studio, where guests can watch artisans at work and see the thoughtful process behind the textiles that have become a signature of Nantucket Looms.
The store also offers custom furniture designed with a sense of coastal refinement. Made with attention to proportion, material, and durability, these pieces reflect the relaxed yet timeless character of island homes.
Throughout the shop, a carefully curated collection of locally produced artwork highlights the creativity of Nantucket and New England artisans. Visitors will also discover traditional island crafts, including wood carvings, Nantucket lightship baskets, and other maritime pieces that reflect the island’s seafaring heritage. These works sit alongside paintings, prints, decorative objects, and handcrafted jewelry that celebrate the spirit of Nantucket’s artistic community.
Nantucket Looms also offers home goods and entertaining essentials—from linens and tabletop pieces to candles and serveware—chosen with the belief that everyday moments at home should feel thoughtful and welcoming.
Those unable to visit the store in person can explore many of these pieces online at nantucketlooms.com, extending the tradition of Nantucket Looms beyond the island.
