Loomdoodles.com, as an expression of fiber artistry, actually started as the brain child of our two little girls, Sarah, and Jennifer, who frequently played with the beads, buttons, and fabric scraps in our apparel design studio.

The girls often amused themselves dressing the mannequins and sketching fantasy glamour designs while playing in our design room on the weekends. One afternoon the girls explored the computer aided design system, which we use to program our designs into our knitting looms. They thought that it would be really fun if they could draw their own pictures and we could then use our yarns to transform their doodles into a special blanket for each of their beds.

Since one of our machines was being repaired and needed to be tested anyway, we programmed their designs into the machine for the test. The girls were thrilled when we knit their names and birthdays into the blankets too. Loomdoodles was a way to showcase their ideas for fabrics and sell a few blankets. We even created a mail order line of special photo blankets from clients pictures for special keepsakes.

The girls are much bigger now and are far more interested in ipods, boys and texting.

So, I remade the idea of loomdoodles into a creative expression of fiber art, while still keeping that child's mind set of, 'what would I do if I had no rules in creating what I wanted.' Loomdoodles became the experimental process in creating knitted, Shibori dyed and multi-processed fabric that no one would think of jumbling together. It was beyond fun in putting together the process and the results are beautiful.

This is the original Fabdesigns' design studio in Encino, California where we started Loomdoodles. We were a highly customized atelier studio which served the Southern California elite, celebrities and demanding studio clientelle by private appointment only.

Hand beading, custom dye treatments, pewter clasps, leather labels, pearls, beach glass, and semiprecious stones adorned the one of a kind creations.

In 2008 we shifted back to our fiber art roots. We create beautiful fabrics for our trunk shows and the art galleries who sell our pieces. Nothing is mass produced. And only the finest yarns are used. Every piece is handcrafted in house.

Put something on. Feel how it raises your spirit. Let it illuminate your soul. You immediately get it!

Every piece has certain energy to it, a soul, defying age and trend.

We have limited quatities available in new unworn sample pieces in sizes extra Small (2-4), small (6-8), Medium (10-12), Large (14-16) only in hundreds of styles and colors. If you see something on the site give us a call or email and we'd be glad to check availability.

Production is currently on HOLD for 2010 and will hopefully resume 2011-2012 season.

Look for us on Twitter and Facebook.
