Beam 3/2 Organic Cotton Weaving Yarn ~ Pistachio

Bright and Easy

I am not normally a fan of greens. With that said, this Pistachio makes a lovely accent color. I used just a few threads through my towels for an unexpected pop of color. It worked well with the blues, purples, and pinks that I was using. Beam is a very easy yarn to weave. I have ever only found one tiny know in all of the cones that I have used. The knot is so tiny that I just ignored it. My towels came out beautifully. The knot is practically unnoticeable and the towels are wonderful to use. The beam really absorbs water. I was a beginner (used on my second project) when I began using beam. It is now one of my go-to choices and makes up most of my stash.

Nice Organic Cotton .

I used this 3/2 cotton as the weft in a baby blanket. The color is pretty and blends well with the yarn that I used for the warp. This green organic cotton saved me the trouble of dyeing the natural I had on hand. Plus, it saved me lots of time because I could start weaving right away.

A Little Thin

I love Gist yarn, but I ordered this yarn to weave dish towels with two other 3/2 yarns. It was the right color, but was quite a bit thinner than the other $/2 yarns, so I had to double it in the warp. I had enough to finish the project, but it was distressing that the weight of the yarn was wrong!
