June Hanson began Nordic Studio in 1983 in Canada. She imported Swedish Yarns for weavers.June has had booths at Conferences all over North America for over 20 years.In the summer of 2005 June decided it was time to retire and sell her business.In November Tracy Kaestner and June worked out the details and Tracy became the owner of Nordic Studio.
In November 2005 Tracy flew to Ontario to help June pack up her remaining inventory, and now Nordic Studio (under the name Lone Star Loom Room) is located in the sunny south!Nordic Studio was known for having a wide color selection of fine Swedish yarns and good customer service! Tracy is committed to continuing business for Nordic in the same tradition as it was run by June! If you haven’t woven with Swedish yarns you really must give them a try, the quality and colors are outstanding!
Lone Star Loom Room opened in August 2002 as a teaching studio for beginning weaving classes.Tracy had been teaching weaving through the Contemporary Handweavers of Houston at area Community centers,lugging looms and equipment around wasn’t much fun. The Kaestners added an addition above the garage and the Lone Star Loom Room studio was born. Come by and visit, but call first for an appointemnt! Tracy has been weaving since 1980. She opened the Lone Star Loom Room for classes in August of 2002. Tracy enjoys sharing her knowledge and love of weaving and dyeing though teaching and articles in magazines.
