Cagney Nay
owner, designer, maker
My name is Cagney and I am the owner and creator of The Chickpea Studio, and Chickpea Studio Weave. I live in Los Angeles with my two daughters and a variety of small animals.
I design and create handmade woven wall hangings. All of my pieces are handwoven on my lap loom or my Saori floor loom and I work in cotton, wool, wool roving, and a variety of other fibers to create embroidered and decorative accents.
Chickpea, is my passion project and was born from a desire and a promise that I made to myself to create something (anything) everyday. After years of developing myself as an artist, I have now found the the medium and the creative practice that suits me perfectly. Every piece is unique and develops organically. I love nothing more than a freshly warped loom because I have no idea what it is going to become until it becomes it!
I look forward to visiting yarn stores in all the cities that I visit and I collect yarns on my travels. Much of my current weaving includes the beautiful wool yarn that I purchased in Iceland in 2015.
