This is Beam 3/2 from Gist.Organic unmercerized cotton is soft, hardy, and beginner-friendly. A smooth and forgiving yarn, perfect for beginners learning to weave on a rigid heddle loom, but experienced weavers will also find its crisp definition and vibrant hues delightful for twills and color work on a multi-shaft loom. Beam’s bright and cheerful colors make it a natural choice for baby blankets, kitchen towels, placemats, napkins and runners. Soft but strong, this yarn was designed for making functional cloth you reach for every day.
