Beam is a foundational yarn—perfect for beginners learning to weave on a rigid heddle loom, but experienced weavers will also find it delightful for twills and color work on a multi-shaft loom. Beam’s bright, 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.
Newbie here, trying my hand at kitchen towels and placemats and I'm loving Beam 3/2 for these projects. It's versatile and forgiving. I only wish it came in more colors.
I wove on a rigid heddle loom for years, until last fall, when I bought (and assembled) a Louet Erica 4-shaft table loom. I wove these towels with 3/2 Beam on the new loom and couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. The pattern was easy to follow, and my weaving friends were as impressed as I to feel how soft they came out.
I am making a runner and dish towels with this yarn. It is beautiful. The color is lovely!
Great cotton yarn for warp and/or weft. 👍👍
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.
